Popping Bubbles Podcast

Powered by Enactus Netherlands, Popping Bubbles is a podcast series that brings together academics and entrepreneurs committed to achieving sustainable development goals. Hosts Stefan and Liza chat with their guests about what it takes to achieve these goals, how the guests leading the charge in their respective fields, and students and other young people can make a change.

In episode 3 of season 2, together with entrepreneur Sean Patrick, I was invited to discuss sustainable food systems. In particular, the episode takes a deep dive into valorising food waste and what a circular food system of the future might look like. We chat about consumerism and sustainability, what needs to change so we can all eat better, and the Dutch ecosystem for food innovation.

The episode was published in October 2024 and you can listen to it here or on various podcast platforms.
