Did you know that almost 26 percent of Deschutes County's Knott Landfill is made up of wasted food? "Wasted! The Story of Food Waste" is a movie aimed at changing the way we buy, cook, recycle and eat food, exposing the criminality of food waste and how it directly contributes to climate change.

Chefs including Massimo Bottura, Anthony Bourdain and Dan Barber are featured to show us how they transform what are considered scraps into incredible dishes.

The Rethink Waste Project and the High Desert Food & Farm Alliance are partnering to bring the film for one night only at the Volcanic Theatre Pub. The evening includes a short panel discussion and Q&A session featuring food industry experts working to combat food waste locally.
