The Real Cost of Food Waste — and the People It Affects Most
Description
In this episode of How To Save Our Planet, Lottie Dalziel speaks with Eliza Hobba, Head of Sustainability for FareShare and SecondBite, about the growing connection between food waste and food insecurity in Australia.
They unpack how millions of tonnes of perfectly good food are wasted each year while more Australians struggle to access nutritious meals and how food rescue organisations are bridging that gap.
Together, they explore:
- The scale of food insecurity across Australia
- How FareShare and SecondBite rescue surplus food and feed communities in need
- The economic and environmental impact of food waste
- Practical ways individuals and businesses can make a difference
