Can food recovery revolutionize our approach to food waste and sustainability? Find out as we sit down with Emily Grant, Director of Florida Operations for foodrecovery.org, who shares her incredible journey from urban planning to leading food recovery efforts. Emily’s story is rooted in community engagement, from her hands-on work in a Sarasota community garden to her strategic role with UF IFAS Extension's Family Nutrition Program. Her experiences have paved the way for a remarkable career dedicated to reducing food waste and supporting communities in need.
Get ready to rethink your food habits as we explore practical strategies for reducing food waste at home and the significant environmental impacts of these efforts. We discuss savvy techniques like freezing overripe fruits and flash-freezing vegetables, using food scraps to make stock, and the benefits of home composting. We also touch on larger systemic changes, such as policy implementation and curbside compost pickups, that can create broader environmental benefits and significantly lower CO2 emissions.
Tune in to this transformative episode and learn how you can contribute to a more sustainable food system.
