Food bank warehouse. Prisoners from the Arizona Department of Corrections helping out at the Borderlands Food Bank warehouse, Nogales, Arizona, USA, which holds fresh produce diverted from landfills. Each year, the non-profit organisation Borderlands takes in 30 to 40 million pounds of produce, mostly grown in Mexico, that would otherwise be discarded. The produce is usable but may have blemishes, or a grower may have more than can be sold. The Food Bank distributes the produce to individuals and non-profits in Arizona and throughout parts of the U.S. and Mexico. Photographed in Nogales, Arizona, USA. |
