About this podcast: From the treasured Sunday roast to your everyday porridge, 1.05 billion tonnes of food goes to waste every year. But we're wasting more than what ends up in the bin — we're losing culture, community, and our future. Don’t Waste This is a podcast by WRAP, the global environmental action NGO, exploring what’s at stake if we don’t fix the broken systems we all rely on — starting with food. Through stories from the Food Pact Network, we meet the people and places fighting to protect what matters most, and discover how local action is driving global change to transform our food system and reduce food loss and waste. About this episode: In the Netherlands, bread is a daily staple, filling lunchboxes from boardrooms to classrooms. But it’s also one of the country’s most wasted foods - everyday, around 700,000 loaves of bread are baked but never eaten. WRAP’s Talya Shalev speaks with Jip Jordaan from Samen Tegen Voedselverspilling (Food Waste Free United) to unpack the story behind the Dutch lunchbox sandwich and hidden cost of taking food for granted. Jip explores why behavioural change is just as crucial as system change to reduce bread waste, how global instability is affecting rising wheat prices, and why restoring the value of food is essential to protecting the Netherlands’ humble lunch culture.
