    May 25 2025

    In this episode of UThink, host Rose sits down with Emily Milton Smith, New South Wales and ACT Engagement Manager for OzHarvest — Australia’s leading food rescue organisation. Emily shares her powerful journey from community volunteer to United Nations youth advocate to a champion for sustainability and food security.

    Together, they unpack the shocking realities of food waste and food insecurity in Australia, and how simple, everyday changes at home can create massive impact. Emily introduces OzHarvest’s life-changing programs like FEAST, Nest, and Nourish, and shares how initiatives like the Waterloo Market and Reffetorio restaurant are restoring dignity, nourishment, and hope to thousands.

    It’s a heartfelt conversation about community, resilience, and how we can all lean in, use it up, and make a difference — one meal at a time.
