What happened

Monday marks the UN’s International Day of Zero Waste, an occasion aimed at raising awareness about sustainability, with this year’s spotlight on food.

Why it matters

Each year, roughly one billion tonnes of edible food - nearly one-fifth of what is available to consumers - ends up being discarded, a reality that affects both communities and the environment.

Common ground

To explore this issue further, we turn to Modena, Italy, to speak with Massimo Bottura, a globally renowned chef, leading advocate against food waste, and Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Environment Programme.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
