Send us a Text Message.This week's podcast guest is Julia Kraemer from the Leftovers Foundation, a Canadian non-profit on a vital mission to reduce food waste and enhance food access.The foundation rescues perfectly edible food destined for landfills, thereby preventing greenhouse gas emissions and delivering this food to those in need through the work of dedicated volunteers.Julia sheds light on the critical issues of food security and insecurity, revealing that nearly 9 million Canadians face some level of food insecurity, driven by income inequality and lack of access. Astonishingly, one-third of the food wasted in Canada could feed every Canadian experiencing hunger. Julia's insights and the impactful work of Leftovers offer valuable lessons on a global issue.She also helps us understand the environmental impact of food waste.  Food rotting in landfills produces methane 25 times as potent as CO2 at trapping heat in the atmosphere. If global food waste was a country, it would be the third greatest greenhouse gas emitter in the world! We learned so much from Julia about these important issues and how organizations like Leftovers are doing amazing work to help bridge the gap. You can learn more about Leftovers and the important work they do on their website and social media accounts (links below). Big big thanks to Julia and the Leftovers Foundation for being our guest and sharing these important messages.  Episode Links~~~~~ Leftovers Foundation Website~ Leftovers on Instagram~ Leftovers on Facebook~ Highfield Farm~ Regenerative Agriculture: Growing Food for the Community (An Interview with the Highfield Regenerative Farm)~ Loop Resource~~~~ Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

The simple truth is that we waste so much food, so why not repurpose the food in a meaningful way? Did you know about 1/3 of the food that's meant for human mouths ends up in the global trash heap? That means 1.3B tons of food go to waste each year (that's $680 billion worth) GOAT is a unique app launched in Calgary that allows "donors" (who can be individuals, restaurants, grocers and more) to donate food to "buyers" who can be any individual looking to access food at a free or affordable price point. Products are available for free with a max cap of 10 dollars, if a monetary amount is selected by the donor, these funds are donated to Leftovers Foundation or Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids. When members sign up as a food donor, GOAT sends them a start-up kit with biodegradable food containers that can be used for donations.   In this chat, Ivonne Gamboa, CEO of GOAT, discusses her app, how it works, and where her idea came from.

To know Lourdes Juan is to know a busy person.  Named one of Calgary's Top 40 Under 40, I had to get Lourdes onto the podcast. I first came to hear about Lourdes through the Leftovers Foundation, a non-profit that rescues perfectly good food that was destined for the landfill and diverts it to people and organizations in need. She's also the owner of Soma Spa with the only Turkish hammam experience in Calgary and Hive Developments, an urban planning consultancy. Did I mention she's in her early 30s?
