Adam Smith brings a fabulous perspective on the food system which comes from years of witnessing the enormous problem of waste and exploring varied angles trying to address it.
Issues in the food system are complex to say the least, but Adam brings a clarity through his determination to find the root cause of all of this waste. He says we're over producing food; all fueled by demand for continued economic growth.
So, how do you start to address that over production? Well it seems it's another conversation where the themes of community and localisation emerge through.
Adam is the founder and non-executive director of Surplus To Purpose, a revolutionary catering enterprise that utilises food destined for waste, by safely redistributing it through cooked meals, products and provisions to families.
We talk about:
Food waste & overproduction
Why 'sustainability' doesn't work
Dignity & community
Challenging the supermarkets with a new model of supply
