    Food Waste Explained: Why It’s the 3rd Biggest Climate Issue (and What You Can Do)

    What if one of the most powerful climate actions you can take… starts on your plate? In this episode, we’re diving into the world of food loss and food waste with filmmaker and sustainability advocate Vivian Davidson-Castro. From farm to fork, we unpack how and why food is lost or wasted across the supply chain, and what it really means for people, planet, and profit. Spoiler alert: if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases globally. Yep, let that sink in. Together, we explore: The difference between food loss and food waste (and why it matters)How modern food systems became so disconnectedWhy most food waste actually happens at homeWhat circular food systems look like in practiceSimple, realistic actions you can take today to become a “food hero”We also chat about Food Synergy, Vivian’s documentary exploring food waste across all seven stages of the supply chain, and why storytelling is such a powerful tool for driving change. This is one of those episodes that might just change the way you look at your fridge, your leftovers, and your weekly shop.
