In this episode of Sustainability in Your Ear, Earth911’s Evelyn Fielding-Lopez talks with Peter Mehring, co-founder and CEO of ZEST Labs. The San Jose, California-based company makes produce-tracking sensors that extend the shelf life of produce and meat. By monitoring the condition of food from the field to the store or restaurant, ZEST supports better decisions in the food supply chain. Learn how technology is being put to work to eliminate food waste that results in 40 percent of U.S.-grown food going unused.
