  • Red Lobster CEO Kim Lopdrup Named Chairman of the Board for Kalera
    Red Lobster CEO Kim Lopdrup Named Chairman of the Board for Kalera Kim Lopdrup provides industry expertise as Kalera prepares for international expansion and US listing of its shares ORLANDO, Fla., May 12, 2021 — Kalera (Euronext Growth Oslo ticker KAL, Bloomberg: KSLLF), one of the fastest-growing and largest vertical farming companies in the world and a leader in plant sci- ence for producing high-quality produce in controlled environments, today announced that Kim Lop- drup is appointed as new Chairman of Kalera as the company moves towards a US listing. Kim joined Kalera’s Board last year and remains CEO of Red Lobster. This announcement comes on the heels of the news of Kalera’s appointment of Sonny Perdue, former US Secretary of Agriculture, and Maria Sastre to the Board of Directors. Current Chairman, Bjorge Gretland, will continue as a board member in the company. Bjorge became Chairman of the company in 2013 when the company only had a handful of employees. Now, the company has become one of the fastest-growing and largest vertical farming companies in the world with truly pan-US coverage. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to have Kim, a proven titan in the food and restaurant industry, become Chairman of our Board,” said Bjorge Gretland, current Kalera Chairman. “His knowledge and expertise span from securing the highest quality, traceable and sustainable seafood for his vast network of res- taurants to leading companies through global expansion. These are skills that are invaluable to Kalera at this time. As Kalera moves towards a US listing of its stock, Kim is extremely well suited to take on the Chairman role.” Kim Lopdrup has been the Chief Executive Officer of Red Lobster, the world’s largest seafood restau- rant company, since 2014.

  • The Food We Throw Away Could Be Saving Lives. by ALAN RICHMAN
    SUSTAINABILITY waste not, want not waste not, want not The food we throw away could be saving lives. BY ALAN RICHMAN ood waste—in the fields,at factories, and in restaurants and home kitchens—is Fa problem of massive proportions. For all sorts of reasons—economic, environmental and humanitarian—we should do more to prevent it. In a March 2016 article for National Geographic, Elizabeth Royte, citing data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, wrote that nearly 800 million people worldwide suffer from hunger, while globally, we waste 2.9 trillion pounds of food a year. This is about a third of the planet’s production, and it never reaches consumers through the food supply chain. In fact, large amounts never even enter the food supply chain. Royte and her sources contend that much of this food is tossed simply because it doesn’t look good enough to go to market. In other words, conjoined carrots, undersized apples and misshapen bell peppers wind up in landfills. New York-based Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a not-for-profit, tax-exempt membership organization dedicated to clean air, clean water and healthy communities, estimates that 40% of all food in America is wasted. “It’s a problem that costs the average family of four OPPOSITE, CLOCKWISE FROM TOP $1,500 a year,” says Dana Gunders, a senior scientist working for NRDC’s food and agriculture 1) LEFT: City Harvest trucks are a program. “All told, Americans are throwing out the equivalent of $218 billion each year.” welcome sight to many in need.
