Market growers to donate less-than-perfect produce to food banks

Merchants at the Jean-Talon Market discard a lot of food in a day, but most of it is still perfectly edible.
“There’s a lot of competition, so we have to show the most beautiful produce,” explained Thomas Ramon, an employee at Ferme René Lussier. “We hate to waste the food.”
Now, a new program will allow merchants to keep the food they can’t sell, and have it picked up by a local food bank.
