Australia wastes an average of 7.6 million tonnes of food per year!
Let that sink in…
Individually it equates to 312kg per person and costs our economy more than 36.6 billion! 70% of this food is edible – that blows my mind!
It’s not just the economy that’s being impacted either, food waste contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and rising food insecurity.
Brent Beauchamp, is Co-Founder of Second Squeeze, together we explore how sustainability, creativity, and entrepreneurship intersect with food waste.
You’ll discover:
- How an accountant became a sustainability champion
- The scale of global food waste and why it matters
- Repurposing surplus fruit skins, seeds, and bread into new products
- Working with Australian farmers and food producers
- Why innovation starts with asking why
- What children can learn about problem-solving, responsibility, and environmental stewardship
This episode is a hopeful reminder that the future isn’t just something we inherit, it’s something we create.
