Reducing Food Waste at Home

In part 3, Jonathan Bloom, journalist, and author of American Wasteland: How America Throws Away Nearly Half of Its Food, lists 5 practical steps for reducing individual food waste in the home. And, suggestions on how to dispose of food that has gone bad without throwing it in the trash.

For those who may be interested, the fruit gleaning project mentioned in the show can be seen in its entirety here: Urban Fruit Gleaning
