We are reaching the irreversible point of the climate change crisis, and with ongoing environmental and socio-economic problems, the statement cannot be any more precise. The United Nations urges immediate actions, a wake-up call, for the world to make a change BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

In Thailand, according to the Pollution Control Department, 64% of municipal waste is food waste which equals 17.5 million tons per year! Some of those food wastes are invisible food, produced but never reach the consumer.


There are still more businesses that are not addressing their food waste. There are more people now under the poverty line (9.9%) and 6.5M people in the country are undernourished. Plus, there is still no law protecting businesses from donating their surplus food to people.


It's time to rally all the food industry leaders to help us fight this battle and achieve ZERO Food Waste and ZERO Hunger in Thailand.


ZERO Summit 2021 is the virtual summit, the first-ever food-driven sustainability event organized by Scholars of Sustenance (SOS), the first food rescue foundation in Thailand sponsored by The Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) as the ‘Sustainable Event Partner’. 


On 29th September 2021 from 13:00 – 18:30, the virtual summit offers 3 main activities and knowledge sharing sessions for everyone to understand and drive a change together with us to make change for a better future in Thailand.


This event is a wake-up call for Thailand's food supply chain.
