In the crazy world of cooking and caring for the planet, here's a jaw-dropping fact: more than a quarter of all the food our planet cooks up gets trashed. Yep, one-fourth of those tasty dishes made with love and meant for our tables end up in the bin. And guess what? This food waste mess isn't just messing up our kitchens; it's throwing off the delicate balance of our climate too.
Shockingly, tossing food in the bin is like secretly hiring it to wreck the environment – It's responsible for c.10% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. So, the challenge isn't just about cleaning out our fridges; it's about taking responsibility for a future that's all about keeping things sustainable.
As we wade through this crazy kitchen puzzle, Conor Spacey joins Pat Kane for this episode of the Consciously Craving podcast.
Conor isn't just a wizard in the kitchen; he's also a chef on a mission for change. As the Culinary Director of FoodSpace Ireland, Conor isn't just about making taste buds dance; he's out here fighting for a cause that goes beyond the kitchen walls.
Author, troublemaker, activist and – in his own words – ‘misfit’, Conor brings a vision to the table where good food and eco-friendliness groove together. Together, Pat and Conor dig into the fancy world of cutting down on food waste, untangling the messy bits that tie this problem to the bigger story of tackling climate change.
In this dance of food and values, Pat Kane and Conor Spacey crank up the volume on the talk about not wasting food. Their team-up goes way beyond the usual kitchen chat, focusing on a shared goal where every bite saved from the rubbish becomes a cool move for taking care of the planet. So, as we soak in the smart lessons from these two, a battle cry rings out – a shout to turn our kitchens into green havens, where we treat every ingredient like gold and no flavour gets left behind in the rubbish pile.
