About this listen

Rot creeps in when food is wasted, with 1.3 billion tons—nearly 30% of global production—lost annually in 2025. This Deep Dive traces the history of food waste from post-harvest losses in ancient markets to modern supply chain inefficiencies. Hear how rotting crops in conflict zones like Ukraine exacerbate hunger, and learn from NGOs like Food Forward and ReFED, which redistribute surplus and improve storage. Discover how to stop rot from stealing meals. Can we preserve abundance to feed the hungry?
