Hazel Technologies Inc. announces co-founder and CEO Dr. Aidan Mouat’s panel appearance at the third annual Sustainable Produce Summit (SPS) on June 2. The one-day summit kicks off the West Coast Produce Expo (WCPE) and brings together professionals throughout the fresh produce supply chain to discuss ways the industry can become more sustainable.
P
articipating in the Waste Not, Want Not: Advancements Towards Zero Food Waste panel, Dr. Mouat will be one of four food waste experts discussing how fresh produce companies can drastically reduce and even eliminate food waste for a more sustainable future. The discussion is the first of the summit, starting at 1:10 PM PST.
Fellow presenters include Luis Yepiz, chief procurement officer at FarmLink Project, Amy Tranzillo, global marketing director at AgroFresh and Stephanie Morris, sustainability coordinator at Jimbo’s.
Cancelled in 2021 due to the pandemic, SPS and WCPE will officially be in-person in Palm Springs, California this year. With agriculture being a major source of its economy, the state has made environmental farming and innovation a key player in their overall mission, making it the perfect host for both SPS and WCPE.
“The West Coast is the ideal destination for sustainability discussions in the ag industry. California’s governor has budgeted $385 million for the state’s agricultural sustainability this year alone,” said Dr. Mouat. “I look forward to discussing ways Hazel Tech is changing the landscape for food waste reduction and what future tech has in store not only for our company but the world of agriculture as a whole.”
Hazel Tech products protect key commodities grown on the West Coast including avocados, cherries, grapes, stone fruit and kiwis during pivotal points in the supply chain including transit and at retail. Hazel Tech’s West Coast team will be at booth #410 at WCPE, June 3 and 4 following Dr. Mouat’s presentation on the 2nd.
