About this episode
In the first episode of Don’t Waste This, we travel to Brazil to uncover the story of cassava, a humble root vegetable that holds deep cultural, economic, and environmental significance.
Carolina Fernández from WRAP speaks with Luiza Soares, Conservation Analyst at WWF Brazil, about why cassava matters, how food waste threatens biodiversity and food security, and how the Brazil Without Waste initiative is tackling these challenges. Discover how protecting staple crops like cassava connects to global goals to reduce food loss and waste, protect nature and fight hunger.
