Tom’s response to the issue of food waste is to promote what he calls ‘Root to Fruit Eating’, which we touch upon briefly in the interview, and which entails – eating for pleasure, eating whole foods, and eating the best food you can.

I met up with Tom at a recent event he was hosting and talking at here in London, in collaboration with the Thomson Reuters Foundation. It was a very last-minute interview, so I had almost no time to prepare, but it was a great opportunity to learn more about Tom’s work and philosophy on the topic of food waste.
