About this listen

In this week’s episode we study another excerpt from Maasechet Taanit about Rav Hunah and how he would buy all the leftover vegetables from the farmer’s market on Friday afternoon and throw them in the river. This sparks a discussion about food waste, what methods we have on a large, medium, and personal scale to address food waste, including innovative selling of imperfect produce, donating food to food banks, buying only what we need, and composting and preserving. We also talk about the anxiety of not having enough food, wanting to treat food respectfully, and being aware of the food insecurity of others.
