People like to buy produce that is sold at a reduced price

An initial step in Sainsbury’s plan is to sell appealing food to its customers.

Unwanted produce can be a nutritious source of food for farm animals.

Sainsbury’s donates fresh produce to local organizations that help people in need.

This is the paragraph 3

Offering shoppers the freshest and most appealing products possible is a good start. Attractive food sells the best. At the end of each day, each grocery store reduces the prices of fruits, vegetables, meats, and dairy products. Cheaper food sells even better. Whatever edible food is left goes to charities for distribution to people who need it. Free food goes into bellies rather than the ground. Sainsbury’s gives away large amounts of food to farmers to feed animals as well. Animals do not care if lettuce is wilted.
