Salvaging Produce Video and What Happens To Old And Expired Supermarket Foods Reading

In this audio and reading assignment, students explore the amount of available produce that is wasted on local farms that could be salvaged and incorporated into the food system. In the video, students will watch as chefs look at wasted produce and give insight into how to use these ingredients could be utilized. In the article entitled, what happens to old and expired supermarket foods, students are asked to read about how expired food is perceived, within the retail consumer environment and how expired and processed foods have cultivated a retail subculture of salvage food shoppers.  As students watch and read this information, please consider alternative scenarios on how waste in processed foods manufacturing could be minimized while increasing marketability.
