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.

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.
