The Sustainable Food Co is Aotearoa’s first ever zero waste catering business. Run by Amy Klitscher, who has been dismayed by the degree of waste since her first part time hospo jobs. Amy studied environmental management at university, and learnt about sustainable eating with leaders in the movement across the Pacific. She joined Mary-Margaret Slack to discuss access to knowledge about the history of food production. Mary-Margaret started by asking Amy how the Sustainable Food Co prepares and transports their product.
