Organismal zoologist Collin VanBuren and agroindustrial entrepreneur Johan Sebastian Chavez Mosquera join us for an exciting episode on food waste and sustainability. Learn more about the impact of USAID's Bureau for Resilience and Food Security, how using a circular economy to organically innovate tomorrow’s food sources can help with sustainability, and why using small insects to transform organic waste into food might be the wave of the future. 

“The sustainability of food security investments does depend on improved management and governance of natural resources within and beyond agricultural systems, including land and water resources that support the terrestrial and fresh water and marine production systems. Let’s not forget that people also get their food not from just the land but the water,” VanBuren says.
