Introduction -- Liber-ate -- Supermarkets -- Manufacturers -- Selling the sell-by mythology -- Watching your wasteline -- Losing ground : some environmental impacts of waste -- Farming : potatoes have eyes -- Fish : the scale of waste -- Meat : offal isn't awful -- Moth and mould : waste in a land of hunger -- The evolutionary origins of surplus -- Adding it all up and asking ... 'what if?" -- Reduce : food is for eating -- Redistribute : the gleaners -- Recycle : compost and gas -- Omnivorous brethren : pigs and us -- Islands of hope : Japan, Taiwan and South Korea -- Action plan : a path to utopia -- Afterword -- Appendix : Graphs, tables, maps and data. In "Waste," Stuart points out that farmers, manufacturers, supermarkets, and consumers in North America and Europe discard between 30 and 50 percent of their food supplies--enough to feed all the world's hungry three times over. Traveling from China to New York, from Pakistan to Japan, Stuart encounters grotesque examples of profligacy--but also inspiring innovations--to the global food crisis. |
