Food Saving

What happens along the value chain of our food? Why do 60% of the wheat grown for bread never make it to a human mouth? Why is only flawless vegetables offered in our supermarkets? Why do two carrots remain with the farmer for every one sold, even though they are of perfect quality? What can be done to ensure that the laying hens whose eggs we enjoy for breakfast do not all end up in the incinerator? We take curious looks at foreign plates, refrigerators, and trash bins, in Switzerland, Europe, and other continents. We present clever ideas and people who care about food waste. This book is dedicated to them: the countless food savers around the world - and all those who want to become one. Because we are convinced: The challenges are enormous, but they can be overcome. For the sake of our taste buds, wallets, and the environment.
