What happens to leftover food in farmers fields?

About 7-10% of the food grown in this country never leaves the farm for a variety of reasons; some is missed during harvest and some is deemed too cosmetically challenged to be sold. Considering that 95% of the food we throw away in this country goes to landfills and combustion facilities, and about 40% of food is wasted every year (meaning it goes uneaten), it's time to change. France has just implemented a rule that all supermarkets must give unsold food to the needy, which we hope the US follows suit considering that a little over 1 out of 6 Americans go to bed hungry at night. #nofoodwaste 📸 @uglyproduceisbeautiful
