Bangladesh wastes over 14 million tons of food annually. These high levels of losses are largely due to improper transportation and packaging processes, poor storage facilities, and inadequate post-harvest infrastructure. Combined with the recent rise in food inflation, this has intensified the financial strain on low-income population and their regular food purchasing ability. UNLEASH Hack Bangladesh aims to develop solutions to reduce food waste and make foods more accessible to lower income population.
The Hack is scheduled to take place on September 20 and 21.
