About half of all food produced globally ends up being thrown away before it ever reaches consumers. Meanwhile some four billion people live in a state of constant food emergency. In a globe-circling investigation, Taste the Waste interviews everyone in the food chain from consumers to food producers to politicians and administrators to uncover the shocking scale of this massive squandering of perfectly good food. It also looks for solutions, interviewing dumpster divers, supermarket managers trying to educate customers to buy less harmfully sourced foodstuffs, and groups forming links between purchasers and smaller, local producers.
