We have a food waste problem. Wasting food, throwing food away, has become normalized. But it is socially, environmentally and economically harmful.

Dana is the executive director of ReFED, a non-profit organization that works on solutions to the food waste problem, and the author of the book 'Waste-Free Kitchen Handbook: A Guide to Eating Well and Saving Money By Wasting Less Food'.
