In this episode of Raising the Circle, we meet Leif Friedmann, the curious co-founder of Eat Wasted, a Copenhagen-based startup turning surplus bread into pasta, and sparking a global movement to fight food waste by feeding people food waste.
What began with a small pasta machine in a basement has grown into partnerships with bakeries, donations of over 10,000 meals to food-insecure communities, and recognition from some of the world’s most celebrated chefs.
Together we dive into three big themes:
Transforming food waste into opportunity – how bread, the world’s most wasted food, can be reimagined into delicious pasta with real social impact.
Community and creativity as the engine – from grassroots dinners in Copenhagen to collaborations with soup kitchens, neighbors, and world-class restaurants.
The future of food systems – how values-driven businesses, bold imagination, and collective action can change the way we eat, produce, and share food.
This is a story about carbs, creativity, and community and a glimpse into how food can fuel movements.
