40% of consumable food is wasted in the U.S. each year. 25% of fresh water is also sent down the proverbial (and literal) drain. America accounts for 23% of the globe’s methane production. It does not take a mathematical genius to understand that these numbers, which are growing every year, are not sustainable in the long term.

Enter Christine Moseley and the team at Full Harvest. Christine, the Founder and CEO of Full Harvest, has made it her life’s goal to create better and more sustainable uses for our discarded food. Full Harvest has a straightforward mission, connecting farmers directly with food and beverage companies who are looking to buy surplus produce.

In this episode, Christine and Chad sit down to discuss America’s food waste problem and how Full Harvest is working to fix it. They also talk about how Christine showed up in San Francisco with barely more than the clothes on her back and managed to turn her dream- to make the world a better place- into a reality.
