In this episode, Turner Wyatt, a social entrepreneur fighting food waste and food insecurity, discusses “upcycled” food—what it is and the new organization he recently founded that is bringing companies together to fuel the future of the upcycled food economy. If you need a definition… recycling is when you convert waste into reusable material, while upcycling is when you convert waste into a product of a higher quality or value than the original.
