Ugly Food: Christine Moseley of Full Harvest
Every year, an estimated 20 billion pounds of cosmetically imperfect or unharvested food are wasted.
This week, hear from someone directly tackling this issue: Christine Moseley. Christine is the founder and CEO of Full Harvest, a business-to-business marketplace for ugly and surplus produce. Full Harvest helps farms sell oddly-shaped & surplus produce that would otherwise go to waste, through a marketplace where food & beverage companies purchase and save money.
"One third of all edible produce does not even leave farms in the US. That's a staggering number, especially when people are going hungry and there is even more food waste downstream in the supply chain," says Christine. "Farms have completely changed their agricultural practices to harvest for perfection. Now is the time to urgently come together and work aggressively on solutions across the supply chain to solve food waste."
