In its second season, Wastecooking sets out in search of the pioneers of this change, who grasp crises as a chance and develop sustainable recipes both for cooking and for life. In the first season of Wastecooking, we explained the concept of food waste and its causes as well as presenting solutions with regards to cooking with leftovers. In the second season, we now go one step further to focus on initiatives and approaches that do not just combat food waste but also prevent it from happening in the first place.

Wastecooking will continue to cook with what others discard, but will also be looking to the bigger picture in its second season. The series reveals how visionary farmers, academics, activities and chefs are already successfully working on changing the food system today. Our protagonists draw in the process on technical innovation and the traditional knowledge of their grandparents’ generation in equal measure.
