Kativa Shukla: Tackling food spoilage with FreshPaper innovation

We live in a world that is constantly dealing with the global problem of food spoilage. Over 800 million people on the planet go hungry due to shortage of food supply. Kativa Shukla is the CEO of Fenugreen and inventor of FreshPaper, a simple remedy to food spoilage. Research shows that farmers around the world are harvesting enough food to feed the planet but over 25% of the food harvested is lost to food spoilage, contributing to the shortage of global food supply.
