Hello BESTers,
As I'm sure all of you know, food waste is a major problem
that must solved if you ever hope to achieve sustainability. Why
so much food is wasted is a complicated issue, stemming from cheap
food and the general lack of knowledge of our food systems. Food
waste is estimated to cost the US approximately $1 billion. This
article discusses some of these issues and outlines some of the
solutions that are already taking place. It's a good article to
pass along to those that might not be as aware of our food waste
problems.
Have a great weekend,
Ryan
