Discussion keeps the world turning This is Roundtable The fishing boats are back, the ports are buzzing,
and fresh seafood is heading to market.
But what you won't see on your dinner plate is the millions
of tons of aquatic food lost or wasted every single year.
On September 29th, the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste,
we're following the catch from ocean to table and asking
how much of the fish we pull from the sea never actually makes it to our plates.
Coming to you live from our studios here in Beijing, this is Roundtable.
I'm Steve Hatherly.
Thanks for being with us today.
And for the show, I'm with Fei-Fei and Yuxian.
First up, fishing season has returned.
And along China's coastline, that means boats are returning to sea, ports are getting busy,
and fresh seafood is once again making its way toward markets and dinner tables.
For fishing communities, it's a moment of celebration after months of waiting.
But there's another side to that fresh catch that we don't always see.
What happens to the seafood that never makes it onto our own plates?
September 29th is the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste.
It's a day that asks us to look at what happens to food throughout the entire journey,
from production and harvesting to processing, transportation, retail, and finally in our own kitchens.
