Two Good yogurt teams up with Chef Marcus Samuelsson, Full Harvest this Earth Week
The partnership invites restaurants across the country to use rescued produce in their kitchens.
Two Good, a yogurt brand of White Plains, N.Y.- and Broomfield, Colo.-based Danone North America, said it teamed up with James Beard Award-winning Chef Marcus Samuelsson and Full Harvest this Earth Week to kick off a movement that highlights the critical role that food waste plays in our collective relationship with the climate and our stewardship of the planet. The partnership invites restaurants across the country to use rescued produce in their kitchens — a response to the reality that food waste is one of the single greatest contributors to climate change.
In the United States, 35% of the 229 million tons of available food went unsold or uneaten in 2019, Two Good said. By supplying restaurants with produce that would have otherwise been wasted and turning them into award-winning dishes, the campaign aims to help restaurants to make sustainable choices and normalize the consumption of otherwise wasted food at large.
