Catherine talks to India Hamilton, co-founder of circular economy food cooperative SCOOP.
We dig into the challenges of providing healthy, affordable and local food on a small island. We hear about the founding principles behind SCOOP and it’s ‘why’. India explains how SCOOP goes beyond the provision of local, healthy and sustainable food and is embedding circular solutions across the business.
We find out how SCOOP survived during lockdown, and discuss India’s counter-intuitive conclusions about the real meaning of convenience.
Podcast host Catherine Weetman helps businesses use circular, regenerative and fair solutions to do better, with less.
