Listen in to hear from Aarti and Danyang, two leading Australian researchers with CSIRO, who tackle the wicked problem of food waste, at the source, in our horticultural and meat sectors. Their valuable research is turning vegetable and animal food waste into high value, nutrient dense protein powders for young and old - it's inspiring! 

With an expected two billion extra people on the planet to feed by 2050, coupled with changing tastes and dietary preferences, the world is going to need to produce more protein, more sustainably and from more diverse sources, plant and animal based – and to better value and transform undervalued food sources and ‘waste’ streams into new and novel nutritious foods.

CSIRO are leaders in food systems research, food engineering and value adding and  CSIRO’s Future Protein Mission and Food and Agriculture business unit works on many fronts to enable Australia to capture a good chunk of the $13 billion market opportunity for all types of protein.

Dr Aarti Tobin and Dr Danyang Ling, are both research leaders in this space, who each do incredible research, respectively, to transform lesser cuts or wasted cuts of meat and vegetable waste into high value, nutritious future protein foods and powders…and a whole lot more.

Did you know that up to 30% of vegetables produced are 'wasted' 'pre' farm gate?!

It's incredible really and the work that Danyang and his team do are helping turn that around - with pop-up on farm value adding technologies and more.... Love it!!!

AND...stay tuned for my upcoming conversation with Aarti all about "dysphagia" and improving food pleasure, nutrition and health for people living in aged care facilities... more clever research that 'also' takes in the amazing protein powders discussed in this episode ... great stuff.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
