How Great Cities are Fed
Food Waste
On this episode of How Great Cities Are Fed, Karen Karp and Ben Kerrick explore the changing realities of food waste. There has been a significant expansion in the amount of food waste since Hedden’s book was published in 1929. Today, we waste about 40% of our food in the U.S. - but the government recently announced that it wants to cut that in half by the year 2030. Join Karen, Ben, and their guests for a discussion of how we might get there. Guests on this episode include:
- JoAnne Berkenkamp, Natural Resources Defense Council
- Dominika Jarosz, Feedback / Feeding the 5000
- Christine Datz-Romero, Lower East Side Ecology Center
- Gena McKinley, Austin Resource Recovery, City of Austin
- Thomas McQuillan, Baldor
