About this episode
Mole and tortillas are at the heart of Mexican culture, representing comfort, celebration and tradition. But for a dish so loved, it is highly wasted, with one in three tortillas ending up in the bin while 30 million people still face food insecurity.
In this episode of Don’t Waste This, WRAP’s Carolina Fernández speaks with Claudia Sánchez, National Coordinator of Pacto por la Comida at Red BAMX, to explore the cultural and environmental significance of maize, the rising climate pressures on its production, the scale of food waste in Mexico, and why valuing the food on our plates matters now more than ever.
