“The word waste itself implies blame and you have behaved in a certain way to create this waste, which is problematic.”  - Lisa Johnson

 

"As long as we're thinking about food as waste, we're not going to value it. The most important thing we can do around this issue is to think about the words that we use." -Adam Kaye

 

Episode Description:

 

This week, we are reframing the discussion around food waste. Tune in as Justine interviews Lisa Johnson and Adam Kaye about how they help solve the issue and how we can engage more deeply in this endeavor. Food waste is a major problem not only in agriculture but also to the environment and economic sector. Lisa and Adam discuss how the terms we use impact the way we manage food. Our guests also talk about how the stream of food loss is becoming more alarming and how to turn surplus foods into appetizing, sustainable, and marketable products. We are looking at a global food crisis, and we can do something about it. Tune in and you will never say the word "waste" again!
