#45 - Iain and Kaitlin - The Hidden Threats of Food Waste
Description
Food waste affects our growers, sellers and our wallets.
It affects our farmers who try to grow food that meets strict beauty standards.
It affects our shrinking household budgets where wasted food is as good as money down the drain.
It affects our environment where wasted food decomposing in landfill contributes to our greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
All of this while food insecurity is becoming a problem for more and more families in New Zealand
Joining me on this episode of Revolving Door Syndrome are my two guests Kaitlin Dawson and Iain Lees-Galloway. Through New Zealand Food Waste Champions, Kaitlin helps businesses achieve both environmental and economic sustainability through reducing over-production of food. Iain heads Aotearoa Food Rescue Alliance, a network of food rescue organisations taking this extra food and distributing to communities and families who can better use it than our landfills.
