Join us for this episode of The Redesign of Everything podcast, as we talk about all things related to rescuing good food, designing a business with circularity baked in, and the incredible potential of collaboration. 

We're joined by the fabulous Diane Stanbra of Rescued, who shares her insights into their journey towards circularity — which includes taking part in our XLabs circular economy training program in 2022. From which came a spontaneous circular collaboration with the team from Lion NZ!

Together we explore everything from rescuing hundreds of lemons with freezer burn, to crafting beautiful food, ingredients, and baking kits. We dive into a few rabbit holes to talk about the challenges of our food systems, and the demand we put on them as consumers to deliver consistently 'perfect' produce. In Diane's own words, "As consumers, we demand a perfect piece of fruit, and we demand convenience in this fast moving world. So manufacturers and producers are growing to a certain size and scale. There’s products that don’t even make it off the farm because they don’t meet the specification. There will always be surplus food, but there doesn’t have to be waste. That’s why we have established ourselves as a first point of rescue." 

Tune in and be part of the conversation.
