Short video by Nicole Johnsey Burke highlighting inefficiencies in the U.S. salad supply chain: most lettuce is grown in two regions (Salinas Valley, CA and Yuma Valley, AZ), much is packaged in plastic and shipped nationwide, and over 40% of harvested lettuce is discarded by growers, grocers, or consumers. Burke argues individuals can grow a monthās worth of salad in a small spaceāchemical-free, nutritious, and less wastefulāand offers to teach viewers how to do it to collectively change the food industry.
