In this episode, we chat with Tianda, founder of the uForage and a busy mum on a mission to reshape how we share food. Tianda shares her journey as a parent and entrepreneur, and how witnessing food abundance in her own community sparked the idea for uForage — a platform designed to connect people through local produce, reduce food waste, and improve food security.

- How the app helps users find and share local, wild, and surplus food
- Why keeping the platform accessible and free is at the heart of its mission
