Low Tox Life

448. Eat 2 venison steaks a year to save the environment? The opportunity in addressing invasive species, with Tara Medina


Listen Later

A food system show with a difference today and I can’t wait to hear from our global audience how these issues play out where you live, too! 


What if eating a particular type of red meat - even just a couple of times per year - made a huge amount of environmental, economic and nutritional sense?


Well, if you have an invasive species deer problem, like Australia does at the moment, then it makes a great deal of sense. 


After this show, you will know: 


  • Why Invasive species are destructive to environments and farms 
  • How big the opportunity is if eaters increase their consumption of venison and if Australia markets it for export. 
  • Why real change is going to happen by first focusing on YUMMY FOOD and accessible messaging for people - meat pies, sausage rolls and dim sum! 
  • What different countries are doing to address invasive species
  • How we can all be a part of the solution! 


You’re left wondering: WHY have we let it get so bad without any serious investment - especially when we stand to gain economically as a country if we do, like Maui and NZ have?


AND WHY NOT send some serious investment dollars to the people setting up the processes and opportunities. Take 5 minutes to share this show and a note with your local representative - I sure as heck have! 


I’m so thrilled to have Tara Medina back on the show, who works in collaboration with wonderful chef and past guest also, Jo Barrett - I’m excited about the work they do at @discovered_foods 


Enjoy the show
