Aotearoa Food Rescue Alliance (AFRA) have flipped a national environmental food waste problem into a social solution that nourishes millions countrywide.
In this episode I talk to ex Green Party MP Gareth Hughes about his life before, during and after politics and the phenomenal network of caring Kiwis who’ve contributed to the remarkable impact AFRA have made during its first year by redirecting over 7.5 million kilogrammes of food to create 29 million meals.
