Wonky Box Co-Founder Angus Simms on Reducing Food Waste with New Fruit-Only Box Initiative

Angus Simms, co-founder of Wonky Box, discusses their latest initiative—a fruit-only box designed to reduce food waste and offer healthier snack options for families. 

Simms shares the origins of Wonky Box, inspired by his and his partner Katie's experiences with New Zealand growers facing challenges in selling blemished produce. 

The episode also highlights a creative collaboration with Kiwi artist Adam Popovich while providing insight into Wonky Box's mission to support sustainable practices, aid local growers, and engage communities in the fight against food waste.
