Denmark’s Food Waste Vigilante

Meet the woman who’s made it her mission to stop Danes throwing away food

In Europe 53% of food waste comes from households, and one woman has made it her mission to stop Danes throwing away food. We travel to Copenhagen to meet Selina Juul, a key part of Denmark’s food waste revolution.
