In this episode, Food & Drink Business editor Kim Berry is joined by Yume Food founder and CEO, Katy Barfield. The Yume tech platform integrates with food manufacturers’ systems, connecting them to other businesses to sell, buy, or donate surplus food.
Katy shares the experience of starting the platform, an entirely new concept to the sector, and trying to get businesses on board. The realisation that existing processes to deal with surplus food were disorganised, ad hoc, and low down the priority scale meant Katy and the team knew they were in for a challenge. We also explore some of the options in the food waste hierarchy, calculating the cost of waste, and examples of how manufacturers recouped their costs and sold their surplus food items.
A few years on and Yume has runs on the board with the calibre of companies using the platform and the amount of surplus food no longer going to landfill. The future is bright with plans to expand the platform to SMEs, donation options, and incorporate new and more difficult categories.

In this episode, Food & Drink Business editor Kim Berry is joined by start-up Naked Rivals co-founder, Andrew Gordon.
From the kernel of an idea to the relentless anxiety of bringing that idea to fruition, Andrew shares the highs and lows of launching Naked Rivals – a frozen citrus product range that upcycles ‘ugly fruit’ and provides cost-effective convenience year-round.
We talk about the willingness of people in the industry to share their knowledge and experience, and the value that comes from those connections.
Andrew takes us through the key steps of starting a business before we turn to the intense stress and relentlessness of getting a company off the ground. The path to securing capital can be brutal and Naked Rivals has experienced it firsthand.
We wrap up by looking down the road for the company and the power of dogged determination. It is a heartfelt, vulnerable, and brutally honest insight into the reality of being a start-up.

In this episode, Food & Drink Business editor Kim Berry is joined by Sam Oakden from End Food Waste Australia to discuss the latest global and local initiatives to reduce food waste.
Sam provides an update on what is happening in the US and EU and the differences in approach between them. The US has just launched a voluntary agreement model, while the EU is putting legislation in place to advance its efforts.
We talk about the success of the Australian Food Pact and how it works with members to achieve ambitious but realistic goals. This links into the importance of collaboration across industry and with competitors.
From there we talk about how End Food Waste Australia is the largest food waste research body in the world and one of the only research bodies that is attached to the agency delivering the interventions.
Before we wrap up, Sam explains what the sector action plans are and their importance in providing sector specific solutions based on research and data.

In this episode, Food & Drink Business editor Kim Berry is joined by Australian Food & Grocery Council (AFGC) CEO, Tanya Barden, to discuss the current state of play for Australia’s food and grocery sector.
Tanya gives us an overview of the challenges faced by the industry with increased cost pressures, ageing assets, and a lack of investment. We discuss the role of government grants and tax incentives to invest in Australia’s production capabilities, and the lack of representation of the sector in the Future Made in Australia strategy.
We explore the many inquiries underway in Australia, focussing on the Food and Grocery Code of Conduct Review. Tanya explains the potential to improve relationships between retailers and suppliers, implications if the code becomes mandatory, and her concerns about unintended consequences of some suggestions being considered. We also look at the global market, touch on novel foods and consider the current review of the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act.
We wrap up by discussing the Council's continued efforts to improve advocacy, industry insights, and reporting trends to its members.

In this episode, Food & Drink Business editor Kim Berry is joined by the federal MP Meryl Swanson to discuss the findings and recommendations from the recent House Standing Committee on Agriculture inquiry into food security. As chair of the inquiry, Meryl expands on just some of the 35 recommendations and Australia’s food system.
We start off discussing the recommendations for a National Food Plan, a Minister for Food supported by a National Food Council and a National Food Supply Chain Map. Meryl explains these concepts were rated as most important by the majority of people fronting the committee and submissions.
She talked about the complexity of the deceptively simple term ‘paddock to plate’, and the policy challenges for the sector because it crosses a few portfolios and risks ‘falling through the cracks’.
Meryl explains how these would be implemented, with the National Food Council being an expert advisory panel on all matters related to the food system. She talks about the importance of the Minister and associated functions to sit within the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet and have ‘clout’ because of the critical role of the food system.
We wrap up by reviewing the suggested tax breaks to businesses who donate food and reduce food wastage, how the plan can foster industry collaboration and innovation, and the next steps for the federal report.

In this episode, Food & Drink Business editor Kim Berry is joined by Food Futurist, Tony Hunter, to discuss some of the latest food tech developments around the world and their potential impacts on food and beverage R&D.
Kim and Tony catch up on the same day Australian cultivated meat company, Vow, revealed it has created an entire new animal made purely to eat and received approval in Singapore.
We move swiftly into mouse neurons and cyborg computer chips being used for smell, to cultivation techniques used to create meat being used to do so with plants such as cocao and coffee trees, and then onto the potential of AI in food and beverage formulations, before landing on how technology is answering the call for a circular economy by helping develop upcycling processes for food waste.

The discussion is about Aquna Sustainable Murray Cod, a world leader in sustainable aquaculture.
