Lesson: Wrangling with Wonky Waste
Ugly food, or wonky veg, is slowly being considered a way to reduce food waste and combat inflation. Have you ever thought about how much food is wasted globally? It’s pretty shocking – about one-third of all food produced is wasted! This harms the environment, contributes to climate change, and raises food prices due to the demand for perfect-looking produce. This means fruits and veggies that don’t meet grocery stores’ standard aesthetic requirements are never offered for sale. By buying and eating ugly food, we can help reduce food waste and fight against rising costs. Next time you’re at the store, why not try some wonky veg? It’s a small step that can make a big difference for our planet and wallets.
