Dear Paul,
I am Natasha, an exchange student at Western University. I am originally from Singapore.
I came across your blog and the work you do, and was very moved and inspired by it. Thank you for your passion.
I would like to ask a few questions, if that is possible.
1. What are your thoughts on food insecurity and food waste in London? Do you think it is possible for the latter to reduce the former? I ask this because of the multiple commentaries I’ve read which state that food donations etc are unable to reduce such insecurity, which stems from poverty.
* I am participating in a case competition organised by a group in Western University, so just in case that raises a conflict of interest please feel free to avoid this question. I would appreciate a response after the competition though if possible, as I would like to hear your opinion.
2. How did you start this journey/what can we do to do more?
I ask this because I’ve been doing research on measures to reduce food waste in London, and am wondering how I could push for greater efforts back home in Singapore. I guess I’d also like to have a perspective from someone who has been involved in this much longer, as I’m currently a bit overwhelmed by everything happening.
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,
Natasha
