What would you do if you learnt how much perfectly good food was thrown away by stores? If you were Miguel Gonzalez then you would start a social enterprise that would “harvest” this food before it reached landfill and turn it into a tasty and nutritious snack. In this inspiring talk, Miguel shows us how a waste and food revolution is within our grasp. Miguel Gonzalez is a PhD candidate based in the Institute of Complex Systems Simulations a the University of Southampton. Originally from Venezuela, Miguel moved to the UK to pursue post-graduate studies in theoretical evolutionary biology. He is the co-founder of Biggest Tree, a social enterprise that turns surplus food into commercially viable tasty snacks.  This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
