At Population Media Center (PMC), we recognize the urgency of combating food waste as part of our broader mission to address global challenges related to #population growth, social justice, and environmental #sustainability. Through our entertainment-education programs, we harness the power of media to shift behaviors and empower individuals to make informed decisions that positively impact their communities and the planet.
