A Growing Passion
Food is a Terrible Thing to Waste!
Season 7
Episode 4
In America, 40% of all the food produced goes uneaten. In an era with rampant food insecurity, it is shameful to waste so much. What’s the solution? We unravel this complicated story as we follow the paths of wasted produce from farm to landfill to compost. Along the way, we meet individuals and organizations working hard to stem the flow, both on a large scale and in our homes, too.
