Stop food waste with 3D food printing?

Worldwide, around one third of all food is wasted. Growers, wholesalers, supermarkets and (governmental) institutions are working individually or collectively in their local markets on the issue of reducing the amount of wasted food. Despite the fact that wasted volumes in percentage of the total production amounts are relatively low, the numbers in kilos is an considerable amount and a great incentive to find new possibilities to lower the amount. 3D food printing could play an interesting role.
