USAID’s Kitchen Sink: A Food Loss and Waste Podcast

“USAID’s Kitchen Sink: A Food Loss and Waste Podcast” is a thought-provoking series exploring the global challenge of food loss and waste. With 30 to 40 percent of food being lost or wasted—while over 800 million people go hungry—this podcast brings together USAID experts, researchers, and development professionals to discuss innovative solutions. Tackling issues from climate change to food security, agriculture, and sustainability, the series embraces a “kitchen sink” approach to address this urgent crisis.

As Editor, I refined each episode for clarity, pacing, and engagement, ensuring a seamless and professional listening experience. I enhanced the storytelling by structuring conversations for maximum impact while maintaining the authenticity of expert insights.

As Producer, I oversaw the podcast’s production process, coordinating with guests, managing episode flow, and ensuring alignment with USAID’s messaging and strategic goals. I worked to craft compelling discussions that educate and inspire action.

As Audio Technician, I handled sound recording, mixing, and mastering to deliver high-quality audio. Using professional editing tools, I reduced background noise, balanced levels, and ensured clear and immersive sound quality across all platforms.

This project exemplifies my ability to produce and refine engaging audio content that informs, inspires, and drives meaningful conversations on global food sustainability.
