Farmers’ inability to sell imperfect produce makes farming less profitable and more difficult to operate. In addition to reducing food waste, the Rescued Organics program will support Sprouts’ farmer partners. “This program allows our customers to partner with us to reduce food waste by taking home delicious, high quality organic fruits and vegetables that may look a little different but are perfectly good, keeping so-called ‘imperfect’ produce out of the landfills.” “Five billion meals worth of edible food are left on farms each year, and the Sprouts Rescued Organics program is designed to help address that problem,” said Nick Konat, president and chief operating officer of Sprouts. The program also makes organic produce more accessible because it is offered at a reduced price. Rescued Organic produce may be misshapen, under or over-sized or slightly off color, but has the same great taste, nutrients, and amazing quality as other Sprouts produce.
