We waste almost as much food as we eat, between plough and plate. In Europe, every second lettuce is thrown away. In a period of rapidly declining resources ad climate and change, this situation has to change quickly. 'Taste the Waste' is a television documentary linked to an international internet campaign that allows us to monitor events across Europe. While the website covers the globe the film takes us into the personal world of the people who are desperately trying to stop this: Hanna Poddig - Berlin, Robert & Gerhard - dumpster divers from Vienna, Timothy Jones - waste scientist from Tucson, USA, offer us the small scale examples of the bigger struggle.
