About the 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: 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.
