Episode 05 A Little Less Conversation, with Nat Burke and Flora Vano

Have you heard about sea grapes?

They’re a form of edible seaweed found in parts of the Pacific. They’re nutritious, particularly for maternal health, and delicious.

And they fetch a great price at market. They’re sometimes even known as the next superfood.

What makes sea grapes particularly interesting to us is the sustainability element: growing them depends on the sustainable development of nearby mangroves.

And this is where Nature Based Solutions comes in. Nature based solutions present an effective way to handle the impact of climate change, such as planting mangroves or regenerating coral reefs.

In particular, it is something beneficial to women in affected communities.

For episode 5 of A Little Less Conversation, we speak with ActionAid Vanuatu Country Manager Flora Vano, and WWF Australia’s Head of Social Development, Nat Burke.

A Little Less Conversation is a podcast series brought to you by @WWF Australia, @Australian Council For International Development and @Goodwill Hunters. It is hosted by @Rachel Mason Nunn, @Dermot O’Gorman and @Jessica Mackenzie.
