"Chile is the third country contributing to all greenhouse gas emissions, only topped by China and the US. Worldwide, 1.2 billion tons of food is lost on farms and 931 million tons wasted at retail and consumption goes to waste. That means approximately 40% of all food grown goes uneaten.

Chile is a small country with a population of roughly 20 million people that will make the top the list in the per capita waste of food. This isn't something to make us proud of, but with the "Imperfect is perfect" initiative, we're looking forward to making a change, one kilogram at a time.

Thanks to the Garnished with Good initiative by Ketel One Vodka and the Maifud company, we're partnering to give a second use to the food that was meant to be wasted cause it wasn't in shape or good looking to be sold at the markets, where they look for perfect and uniform fruits and vegetables, but we all know that's something we can't control.

Esperancita, along with Siam Thai is the first two restaurants in Chile to work with Maifud as their first provider of fruits and vegetables, helping to reduce food waste. This project has the potential to work in every bar and restaurant in Santiago, expect to be in 5 places at the end of the month and more than 50 at the end of the year. The (im)perfect Fizz made with Ketel One, Blood Oranges, lime juice and seltzer."
