‘Less than half’ fresh produce sold globally makes any profit
A fresh batch of basil at the grocery store is essentially a luxury item, exclusive to those who can afford it. What doesn't sell is waste. Perhaps it's time to consider community kitchens residing alongside grocery stores. This would be a place where a meal is always available, all hours of the day, for free, to anyone who walks in. These kitchens can consume food waste while providing a useful benefit to the population.It's surprising we don't have this already in North America given how much surplus food is produced.
