About the film:Every year 80% of the world's water, 40% of the world's land and 10% of the world's energy is dedicated to growing the food we eat, yet in the same year 1.3 billion tons of food is thrown out. That's a third of all food grown around the world being wasted before it even reaches a plate.Wasted! The Story of Food Wastesheds a light on the pressing issue of food waste. Executive produced by author and chef Anthony Bourdain, the film doesn't simply focus on the problem, but offers solutions like reorienting consumer perspectives on the food that is normally cast aside, and what changes we can make to the food production chain to create a more sustainable food system.
