Yesterday LS2 and LS1 got a visit from Micheal a business owner who has been working in her own official office where her and her team develop and research about food waste and how they could change food waste into products that don´t get thrown away every day. She is also a social worker who helps those in need + she has developed her own app called Food Print. Similar to the Uber Eats app but instead Food Print is made differently- The app does not require fast foods instead it provides cooked dishes and cafe delights, such as, Cakes, Ice Cream, Fudges and much more. I was so intrigued by fact that 1/3 of the food that is produced like (Bread) are wasted every year. A fact that Micheal mentioned during her speech was that 1.3 billion tonnes of wasted food ends up in the landfill = Decay, Produced which turns into methane gas. Methane gas changes the weather this causes climate change. During her time working as a small business owner Micheal is trying her best to help reduce the number of waste. Did you that 20 million loaves of bread is wasted every year in New Zealand. She also talked about Food Print being an enterprise, (Open Market).
It was a great oppitunity to hear her story and she learnt the enterprise and economics.
Big thanks to Micheal from Food Print for coming to share your story with LS2 and LS1.
