The Problem
The US is the global leader in food waste, discarding almost 40 million tons of food each year. This waste has an environmental toll, with the volume of discarded food equivalent to the yearly use of 30 million acres of land, 780 million pounds of pesticide and 4.2 ton gallons of irrigated water. Rotting food also clogs up landfills and releases methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.
Our Food Fix
Join Local Roots in the fight against food waste and make use of the “ugly” produce that often gets ignored or tossed out with the trash. Our zero waste bundle features excess produce from a given harvest. These ingredients are far from ugly – while the majority of grocery stores might toss them for their aesthetic blemishes, we believe that imperfect veggies can still be a flavorful and nutritious source of food.
