Research shows that over 30 percent of the food produced in the U.S. ends up wasted. Some waste is inevitable on the farm, during transportation and through retail services, but as consumers, we should do our part to lessen the amount of food that gets tossed in the trash. This week, we've rounded up five resources to help you reduce food waste.
