Farmers put their livelihoods on the line with each crop they plant, tend to and harvest. Now imagine 40% of that crop going into the trash instead of feeding hungry people. That’s the unfortunate situation we’re in with food waste in the US. But there’s a push from multiple sectors to get the most out of every ounce of nutritious food American farmers grow. We’ll explore the issue of food waste and how peanuts are part of the solution on the farm and on the plate through conversations with Valeri Lea of Sherman Moritz, Daniel Kurzrock of Upcycled Foods, Joanne Gendrano of Unilever Food Solutions and Alabama peanut farmer Thomas Adams.Show Notes: To learn more about food waste and what we’ve talked about on today’s episode:Upcycled Foods Inc.: upcycledfoods.com USDA Food Waste FAQ’s: usda.gov 5 Tips to Go Further with Food: Reduce Food Waste: 5 Tips 3 Creative Ideas to Tackle Food Waste: 3 Creative Ideas Naming Matters: Prompting Smaller Portions in an Online RCT: ajpmonline.org To learn more about peanuts and sustainability: Peanuts and Sustainability FAQs: FAQ The Peanut Podcast Episode 2: The New Frontier of Sustainability: Episode 2 Sustainable Snack Swaps: Snack SwapsEven Mother Earth Loves Peanuts: Mother Earth 3 Fast Facts About Peanuts and the Environment: Fast Facts Peanuts Are the Crop of Now: Crop of Now Plastic Straws and Peanut Seeds: Think Small for Big Impact: Straws & Seeds New Data Confirms Peanuts are More Water Efficient Than Ever: Peanuts and water  Sources:Feeding America – Food Waste and Food Rescue: feedingamerica.org Feed The Future’s Commitment to Reducing Food Loss and Waste: feedingamerica.org Datassential – 2022 Trends Part I | 01.06.22: datassential.com EPA – 2019 Wasted Food Report: epa.gov Whole Foods Market Forecasts Top 10 Food Trends for 2021: media.wholefoodsmarket.com7 Food Waste Statistics Every Chef Should Know: blog.cambro.com
