Season 2 Episode 2 | 8m 22s | CC
Host Rachel Belle travels to Portland to meet Salt & Straw’s Tyler Malek, who’s redefining food waste solutions through a partnership with the nonprofit Urban Gleaners.

We learn how Urban Gleaners gets discarded, but perfectly good, food to folks in the community who need it most.
