In this episode of Nourish by MN350, host Lisa Chou talks about food waste with Danielle Piraino, Produce Programs Coordinator from The Food Group, and Patrick Smith, a former collective member with Sisters Camelot. Both guests talk about why we produce so much extra food in the first place, the challenges of rescuing “wasted” food from farms and warehouses, and how food waste can be one of the solutions to food insecurity and a path toward strengthening our community and building a more just and equitable food system.

Stay tuned to the end to hear a bonus update from The Food Group’s Executive Director and how they’ve adapted their services to our second year of the pandemic and ways for you to support their work.
