New Zealand scientists have developed a new technology to reduce food waste and import dependence. 

The waste system takes perishable food before it hits landfill and turns it into shelf-stable powders, concentrates, and extracts for food. 

Director of Powered by Plants Dr. Andrew Prest says the concept came from frustration with the current production model. 

He told Mike Hosking it's a good opportunity to address the country's environmental waste, as powders can be produced from almost any fruit or vegetable.
