A third of the food we produce is thrown away. An app is trying to change that by connecting consumers to extra food at a bargain price.

Fresh produce at Paulette’s Public Market on West 18th Street in Chicago on Aug. 3, 2021. The store doesn’t usually have lots of leftover food at the end of the day, but whenever they do, they have customers that come in and pick them up through the Too Good to Go app. (Terrence Antonio James / Chicago Tribune)
