Dena Fam

Are we wasting all out waste? Couldn’t our poo and wee be a bit more useful somewhere other than the bottom of the ocean? These are the questions our next guest, Dena Fam, wants to answer. And if we want to feed a whole lot more people, while reducing carbon, let’s hope she answers it quick.

Dena started off as a sculptor and has always been fascinated with design. But soon her career took a rather startling left turn, and she found herself collecting pee, all in the name of science.

Because reusing our waste may work well in theory, but making it work in real life is going to require some design. And that’s where Dena comes in.

She speaks to Josh Nicholas.
