Why does almost half of America's food go to waste?

The video explores the issue of food waste in Salinas Valley, a major agricultural hub in the U.S. It highlights how a significant portion of produce never reaches consumers due to market fluctuations, packaging errors, and consumer preferences for perfect-looking produce. The environmental impact of this waste is significant, contributing to methane emissions. Solutions such as donating imperfect produce to food banks and initiatives like the Imperfect produce venture are discussed as ways to mitigate waste and support those in need.
