Food Waste, Food Loss, and the Circular Economy HappyPorch Radio: Circular Economy & Technology

- Business
Welcome back to Season Six of Happy Porch Radio.
Today, we are joined by Julia Venn from Foodwise, a social enterprise which fights against food waste, and food insecurity by helping businesses repurpose their own food in order to help people in need.
We talk to Julia about the importance of distinguishing between contexts across Africa’s diverse countries, and how she came to leave Germany to co-found Foodwise Mauritius, Morocco, Ivory Coast, and Madagascar.
She unpacks the important work that Foodwise does and how it ties in with the circular economy, and shares the powerful insight that we can’t talk about Africa in the homogenous way we do about Europe.
You’ll also hear about her experience navigating cultural differences, and why she believes that there is something to be learned from each culture, even if they don’t use the same terminology.
We hope you tune in today to hear all this and more!
