In the lead up to the 2017 Global Food Security Symposium, the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting and the Chicago Council on Global Affairs are collaborating to produce Food Security, a podcast examining nutrition, hunger, and food security around the world. This is the second of three episodes showcasing work from journalists whose projects tie into the big picture of global agriculture and food security.

In this episode, host Roger Thurow interviews Karim Chrobog, whose project "Wasted" compares the world's largest food recycler, South Korea, with the world's largest food waster, the United States.

If you like the show, mark your calendar for the March 29-30 live stream of the 2017 Global Food Security Symposium.
