About this episode
Game and produce like kangaroo, wattleseed and bush tomato are part of Australia’s oldest food traditions, shaped by tens of thousands of years of care for land and Country. Today, these foods exist alongside a modern food system built for – yet one that wastes enough food every year to fill the Melbourne Cricket Ground ten times over, even as more families struggle to put food on the table.
In our latest episode of Don’t Waste This, WRAP’s Talya Shalev speaks with Francesca Goodman-Smith from End Food Waste Australia about what’s driving this paradox. From climate-driven disasters disrupting food production and storage to the staggering scale of food wasted across the system, Francesca explains why building a more resilient and future-proofed food system matters now more than ever.
