• Project 1 October 2021 A Circular Bioeconomy for the Kenyan Dairy Sector (VALORISE) The Global food system is the single largest driver of environmental change, contributing to 24% of global emissions and consuming 70% of the world's blue water. At the same time 2 billion people are live with food insecurity. All this while 24% of calories produced for humans are lost or wasted in the supply chain, and food loss and waste (FLW) represents 3.3 billion tons of GHGs - equivalent to making it the 3rd largest emitting 'country' in the world. Looking at the Kenyan dairy-sector, the…
