The Ugly Produce is Beautiful℠ (UPIB) Educational Campaign was started in January, 2016, by food expert and entrepreneur Sarah Phillips.
We seek you to JOIN US to help us achieve our goals. We also PARTNER with like-kind ugly produce and food waste warriors! This is a global movement of producers, retailers, restaurants and consumers to create awareness and revolution in the food industry to reduce food waste and pollution. One of the greatest crimes against the environment that few know about, is our practice of throwing away up to 40 percent of our perfectly good fruit and vegetables in the United States just because they do not meet cosmetic standards. Ugly produce is part of our larger American food waste problem, although it occurs worldwide. Americans are throwing out the equivalent of $165 billion each year - from farm to fork - ugly produce and uneaten food ends up rotting in landfills as the single largest component of U.S. municipal solid waste where it accounts for a large portion of U.S. methane emissions. And all those inputs used to produce that food - soil, water, fertilizers, and human labor - are also wasted! Our goal is to help you take action and buy ugly produce (rather than our just talking about it) by making you aware of it through photography, events, recipes, how tos, and tips (in conjunction with my encyclopedic CraftyBaking.com site, started in 2000). MORE WATCH!
