That Bright Idea

#7 Food for Thought

Listen Later

Ellie and Rhiannon discuss Food Cloud, Evocco and Brewdog... all in the name of sustainable food! 

This podcast is all about innovation and this week they discuss bright ideas in the FOOD industry. Over 20% of global emissions come from food, we eat it every day, and on top of that 50% of the food that is produced is wasted. So this is something they are really passionate about shouting about. 

What is in store:

  • Birthday throwbacks: It's Ellie's Birthday! What better way to celebrate than by remembering all those great parties she's thrown over the years?!
  • FoodCloud: the social enterprise tackling two huge social and environmental issues with ONE solution 
  • Special Guest: Evocco Co-Founder, Ahmad Mu'azzam joins our hosts to shed some light on his business whereby you can scan your shopping receipt and see the environmental impact of your shop. You get rewarded in points for improvements you make on the sustainability of your shop, and personalised tips on how to do so. Not only this, but you can offset your carbon emissions by planting trees via the app
  • Brewdog: In 30 seconds we tell you what you MAY NOT know about Brewdog... who are reducing their carbon footprint in innovative ways, such as CO2 recovery from fermentation to use to carbonate the beer, electric vehicles for delivery, green energy using malted barley to make biomethane and much more!
