About this podcast
Guest: Wilco Vermeer, co-founder of NatureLock Foods, Kenya
Behind The Taste Podcast microphone in this episode is Wilco Vermeer, co-founder of Kenyan company NatureLock Foods. This company combats food waste across Africa by preserving fresh produce naturally right at the source, making it tasty, nutritious, and affordable for all. They call it ‘creating food at the source’. This is very important for African farmers: it maximizes the use of their produce, increases their income, and provides a healthy alternative to less healthy food. Wilco explains the NatureLock process – using local staple foods to retain flavour and nutritional value – to Robert Strik, who is listening to the chat. This podcast is also full of valuable tips on how consumers can change their food choices to help preserve the environment.
