The Food Edit with Dr. Edwin Hlangwani

Loading player...
On this episode of The Food Edit, we explore how food is evolving beyond the plate into a conversation about sustainability, innovation, climate resilience, and the future of global food systems.

Joining us is Dr Edwin Hlangwani, a biotechnology researcher, entrepreneur, and the founding CEO of OriGenes Biotech, an agri-technology startup transforming agricultural waste into sustainable farming solutions.

From indigenous African ingredients and food security to biotechnology and climate-smart innovation, Dr Hlangwani unpacks how African knowledge systems and modern science can work together to reshape the future of food. We also explore why placing African research, sustainability, and innovation at the centre of these global conversations matters now more than ever.
