How One Mum’s Idea is Fighting Food Waste and Building Community – Tianda from uForage


Listen Later



In this episode, we chat with Tianda, founder of the uForage and a busy mum on a mission to reshape how we share food. Tianda shares her journey as a parent and entrepreneur, and how witnessing food abundance in her own community sparked the idea for uForage — a platform designed to connect people through local produce, reduce food waste, and improve food security.


We dive into:

  • The challenges of food insecurity in modern communities
  • How the app helps users find and share local, wild, and surplus food
  • Why keeping the platform accessible and free is at the heart of its mission
  • Plans to expand with foraging education and preservation tips
  • The vision of building stronger, more sustainable food networks

Whether you're into sustainability, tech for good, or just curious how local food sharing works, this conversation will inspire you.

  • Tianda is a regular mum balancing family life and entrepreneurship
  • uForage is an app that connects people to local food sources
  • Inspired by the abundance many communities already have
