One of the founders of Imperfect Produce in 2015, industry veteran Ron Clark talks with The Packer’s editor Tom Karst June 18 about his views on food waste and marketing less than perfect produce.

No longer with Imperfect Produce, Clark said he wants to engage others in the produce industry about next steps to make sure much more produce from the field can be marketed.
