February 8, 2019 The Future of Food is Ugly (And it's a good thing)!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the adage goes, and Sarah Philips is living proof. Outraged to learn that every year nearly six billion pounds of perfectly nutritious food is tossed in the American waste stream because it’s deemed “ugly” or aesthetically deformed (as opposed to spoiled, moldy, or inedible by the USDA, Philips founded Ugly Produce is Beautiful ℠ Educational Campaign. Already a well-established presence in the food world, Philips’ goal is to encourage the consumer to buy and consume those crooked, long-necked, wonky fruits and vegetables with more inclusive eyes. Not only will including some ugly produce in your diet lessen the load on our landfills (and, hence, the outgassing of methane), but will help the planet, and feed more people.

Sept 26, 2018 What's the Deal with the Ugly Produce Movement? Misshapen fruits and veggies are the new black.
Fortunately, the ugly produce movement has taken root in the U.S., too. The Ugly Produce Is Beautiful! Educational campaign is the brainchild of Sarah Phillips, a food expert and entrepreneur who also runs the acclaimed @food Instagram account.
On the campaign’s website, Phillips explains that 2.9 trillion pounds of the food produced globally is never consumed. She ascribes this immense food waste to two phenomena. First and foremost, Americans simply aren’t eating all of the food in their fridges. On average, Americans only consume approximately 60 percent of the food they purchase. But realistically, the U.S. would have to undergo a complete cultural revolution in order to remedy that bad habit.

Tomato not quite red, pepper deformed, apple considered smaller than the standard size ... With its project "Ugly Produce is Beautiful", the American photographer Sarah Phillips sublimates the fruits and vegetables "ugly" to raise awareness of waste food.
...On the Instagram account of the project , the artist regularly posts impressive still lifes made from these defective products, in order to show all the beauty.

March 3, 2018 'Ugly' fruit and veg has never looked so beautiful as in this photo series
About 2.9 trillion pounds of food is wasted worldwide every single year
Food wastage is a serious problem in the world, with many items of produce thrown away simply for aesthetic reasons.
Around 2.9 trillion pounds of food is wasted worldwide every single year, which amounts to about a third of the world's food, Metro reports. Something clearly needs to change.
That's why one food stylist has taken it upon herself to showcase the beauty of 'ugly' fruit and veg to try and change perceptions of what makes food attractive.

February 28, 2018 metro.co.uk You'll never be as beautiful as these photos of 'ugly' veg
What you’re looking at is a load of ‘ugly’ fruit and veg. Unbelievably, we chuck away around 2.9 trillion pounds worth of grub every year (that’s about a third of the world’s food) – and much of that is binned for purely aesthetic reasons. Which is why one food stylist is trying to change our perceptions of what edible food looks like. Ugly Produce is Beautiful is an Instagram account run by Sarah Phillips, and its taking beautiful photos of broccoli, lemons and pawpaws to show that they’re just as attractive and edible as any ‘perfect’ piece found at supermarkets. Sarah is the founder and CEO of FoodEMedia and she says that around 6 billion pounds of produce ‘go largely unharvested or unsold largely for aesthetic reasons’. ‘These scarred vegetables are regularly abandoned in the field to save on expense and labour involved in harvest,’ she says. ‘Or harvested and remain unsold, and then left to rot in landfills because of minor blemishes that do not necessarily affect freshness or quality.’

Twenty to 40 percent of the fruits and vegetables grown in America never leave the farm because they don’t meet grocery store standards. This results in billions of pounds of wasted produce every year (1). Sarah Phillips is the founder and CEO of Ugly Produce is Beautiful, an educational campaign to change the public perception of what qualifies as “good” produce. I interviewed Sarah about living through the food revolution in America, the origins of our food waste problem, and how Ugly Produce is Beautiful is working to be a catalyst for sustainable change in the food system.

Phillips takes the concept of highly stylized food and applies it to bruised and wonky-shaped fruits and vegetables, creating gorgeous stills that’ll make you rethink your rejection of that bruised apple. Here, Phillips explains her mission."

"For Sarah Phillips (@uglyproduceisbeautiful), promoting sustainable food habits is about showing, not telling. The Chicago-born, California-raised entrepreneur creates vivid foodscapes interwoven with vibrant citrus, fresh-from-the-dirt root vegetables and edible flowers, encouraging others to embrace biodiversity in the produce that they buy. “I just want people to see that it’s Earth’s gift to us — and it’s OK if it’s irregular, bumpy, lumpy, scarred, little, big, small. We should embrace food the way we should be embracing people: all different sizes and shapes.” In her effort to address the portion of food that goes uneaten in the United States (currently estimated about 40 percent) Sarah churns out seasonal recipes and has begun collaborating with broader social good campaigns. “Instead of running around yelling, ‘Buy ugly produce!’ I give people a way to use it, and then how to store it. And it’s not just me; it’s a team effort,” she says. “So many great organizations are talking about hunger, food waste, sustainability, it’s a whole big picture that fits together.”
