Anthony Bourdain is known to be a busy guy, but it appears that these days, he's got even more on his plate (sorry) than usual: He's participated in presidential summits over pork and beer in Hanoi for the new season of Parts Unknown, is currently touring the country in support of his new cookbook Appetites, and is still working on a hawker-style food hall in New York set to open at some undisclosed point in the next millennium. Now, he's also taking to the big screen to shine light on an issue that he's passionate about: global food waste.

According to Variety, Wasted! The Story of Food Waste is a feature-length documentary being produced by Bourdain and the Rockefeller Foundation, with help from Zero Point Zero Production—the team behind PBS's The Mind of a Chef—and will focus on the huge amounts of food that are thrown away every year. According to the Rockefeller Foundation, which has made food waste one of its philanthropic priorities, one-third of the world's available food spoils or ends up in the trash, a total that could feed everyone in the world for two months. In the U.S. alone, because of our disdain for an imperfect head of lettuce or a bruised plum, we generate 1.5 trillion pounds of annual waste, leading to some $680 billion in annual losses.

Bourdain won't be the only celebrity foodie involved in the documentary. Massimo Bottura of Osteria Francescana, which took the number one spot in the 2016 World's Best Restaurants rankings; Danny Bowien of Mission Chinese fame; and more will also be chiming in with their perspective on the global problem. While no concrete release date has been announced, as the film is still in production, it is expected to hit film festivals in 2017. We'll be watching.
