Venture Capital investing to fight food waste on a global scale | Peter Jorgensen | TEDxFultonStreet

Almost 1/3 of the world's food production is wasted, and 80% of that waste occurs before the food even reaches a store or restaurant. From farming practices through logistics, the corporate Venture Capital arm of Maersk, the world's largest container shipping company, is investing cash to help address this problem. Imagine what would happen if every other major corporation also invested to solve global development challenges in their own sectors?
