Food is Never Waste. You know, nature does not have waste, why do we have waste? So, can we close the loop? Can we make sure that all inedible parts and any food waste that is created goes back into the nutrient cycle? (…) This is where Food Banks have a big role to play in helping to make those linkages happen.
