(24-25高一下·江苏扬州·期中)The global food waste conundrum continues to grow, but smart tech developed in Australia could solve it significantly, one farm at a time. A new healthy vegetable snack draws on innovation from Australia’s national science agency CSIRO together with start-up Nutri V.
The new Nutri V Goodies snacks contain vegetables, which can’t be sold and would otherwise have gone to waste, often as landfill (填埋的垃圾) or animal feed. Raquel Said, CEO of Nutri V, explained that the company was born from a farming business with enthusiasm for innovation and sustainability (可持续性)。
“Part of growing vegetables can involve ending up with tonnes that don’t meet standards or there’s an oversupply, yet they’re all still perfectly nutritious,” Ms Said explained, “We wanted to create a business to upcycle that waste into a sustainable yet delicious solution, which is what we’ve done with Nutri V Goodies,” she said. “We think they will help Australians increase their vegetable consumption (摄入、消耗) while supporting farmers in reducing waste.”
Nutri V Goodies, which are a convenient option for people to stay on top of their vegetable intake (摄入量), have two servings of vegetables in every pack and have a higher vegetable content and health star rating than other snack foods.
CSIRO’s director of Agriculture and Food Dr Michael Robertson said, vegetable-rich food innovation such as Nutri V Goodies helps farmers add real value to their businesses, while supporting sustainability in the agrifood section. “With CSIRO’s expert knowledge and our world-class food research facilities, we can support the creation of healthy concept products and in the case of Nutri V, developing an innovative process can take it to market,” Dr Robertson said. “CSIRO working together with Nutri V at the forefront of agricultural production is a good example of how research can work with industry.”
