Each year, millions of pounds of safe, edible produce ends up in landfills, not making it to grocery store shelves. Adhering to “food beauty standards” where blemished, misshapen or multicolored produce does not show up on the market results in millions of pounds of wasted food. The uneaten produce further exacerbates the growing climate issue of global warming. The resources and capital invested in each step of the food supply chain result in their misuse and end up wasted. By educating consumers on the impacts food waste presents, their purchasing decisions can cater to buying imperfect food.
