Wasting food is killing our planet and we need both technological, political, and social reform before we do irreparable damage to our home. We need governmental involvement in determining “sell by” dates to regulate the industry and prevent big business from setting all the rules. We need technology to make sure our food is better handled at every step so we need fewer “best by” dates. We need a social campaign to encourage people to waste less and eat ugly food. Nearly 1/3 of all food produced is wasted because it doesn’t meet arbitrary standards. The ugly food can be given to food banks. If we establish food waste disposal stations, Manhattan food waste can be turned into biomatter for a farm upstate. We need to take a closer look at how food waste is aggravating climate change and how we impact that, or we will soon have none to eat on our plates.
