Forests are destroyed and nearly one tenth of the West's greenhouse gas emissions are released growing food that will never be eaten. While affluent nations throw away food through neglect, in the developing world crops rot because farmers lack the means to process, store and transport them to market.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBut there could be surprisingly painless remedies for what has become one of the world's most pressing environmental and social problems. Travelling from Yorkshire to China, from Pakistan to Japan, and introducing us to foraging pigs, potato farmers, freegans and food industry directors, Stuart encounters grotesque examples of profligacy, but also inspiring innovations and ways of making the most of what we have.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'Tristram Stuart lifts the lid on the obscene levels of produce ending up in landfill ... read it and weep'\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Sun\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'Passionate, closely argued and guaranteed to make the most manic consumer peer guiltily into the recesses of their fridge'\u003cbr\u003e\nSunday Telegraph\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'An extremely thought-provoking, passionate study'\u003cbr\u003e\nScotland on Sunday\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTristram Stuart has been a freelance writer for Indian newspapers, a project manager in Kosovo and a prominent critic of the food industry.
