American Wasteland: How America Throws Away Nearly Half of Its Food
(and What We Can Do About It) (DACAPO)
Reading & Book Signing
Consider this: during the Great Depression food was scarce and people went hungry. In the years since, abundance has made this a country where half our harvest goes to waste. The reasons for this are many, and journalist Jonathan Bloom looks at them in his new book. And he talks a little about the future, too, discussing a time when population growth will make current rates of waste untenable.
