Show Notes

After our previous episode looked at the food we eat, this time we take a deep dive into the impact our food waste mountain could be having on the planet. With the UK throwing away around 10 million tonnes of food every year, more than any other nation in Europe, we ask what we can do to stop our compulsion to waste. 

We also explore which foods are the worst offenders when it comes to deadly greenhouse gas emissions, as well as exploring how food otherwise destined for the bin could help combat the cost of living crisis.
