NEWS: Social enterprise Open Kitchen Manchester took the 1.1 million frozen meals, which were sitting in a warehouse at Manchester Airport, to give out to those badly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. This included homeless people, families living in poverty and those who fall into the vulnerable category of people most at risk from the virus. Open Kitchen has been working with local businesses for the last six years to save food destined for landfill. The organization’s usu

Inevitably, some of the food we buy needs to be tossed. Food eventually goes bad. Leftovers sometimes go uneaten. Most fruit and vegetables have inedible bits: pips, seeds, rinds and cores. Rather than putting it in the landfill bin, we can do something better with these scraps. Composting is the breaking down of organic material by bacteria, fungi, worms and insects in the presence of air (specifically, oxygen) to create compost, a rich organic matter that can be added to so

The critical issue of reducing food waste is also highlighted in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with Goals 2 calling for achieving zero hunger, and halving food waste and reducing food loss by 2030, respectively. While many countries are taking action, we need to step up efforts. We calling on Individuals to shop carefully, store food correctly and make good use of leftovers. In a world with enough food to feed all people, everywhere, 690 million people continue to

Although people have stopped stockpiling, there’s still some things we can’t get when we go food shopping. And there is an answer to that: grow your own. You don’t need a big vegetable patch to do be able to do this, or even a spacious garden. Herbs and lots of smaller vegetables and lettuces can be grown in pots, on windowsills and in odd containers or tubs you might have. It’s also a good way of reducing the amount of food or odds and ends that we’d otherwise throw away. 👨

“Ugly” or “wonky” veg were blamed for up to 40 per cent of wasted fruit and vegetables, as produce was discarded for failing to meet retailer appearance standards. Research in Italy and Germany found that people who grow their own food waste the least. One way to fight food waste at home then – whether for “wonky” fruit and vegetables – may be to replace the farm-to-fork supply chain with a garden-to-plate approach. 📺 To find out more about Zero Hunger, please visit: http://

When it comes to telling if an item of food is fresh or not, it's easier said than done with eggs, whose shell exteriors rarely vary from the norm whether they're fresh or not. Sometimes you don’t know if an egg is safe to eat until you’ve cracked it, or you might be inclined to throw away a whole box if you notice it’s a few days past its best before date. Either way, it turns out that many of us are choosing to be pessimistic about the freshness of our eggs, as new research

Over the Christmas period, approximately 5 million Christmas puddings, 2 million turkeys and 74 million mince pies are thrown away in the UK, The Big Issue reported last year. These quantities are staggering, especially given the fact that nearly 2 million people in the UK are undernourished and more than half a million rely on food parcels, according to Oxfam. If you do not finish all the food on your Christmas table, then it is important to think twice before chucking it in

Today, an estimated one-third of all the food produced in the world ends up as rubbish before it even gets to the table, according to the United Nations. And when food goes to the landfill and rots, it produces methane—a greenhouse gas even more potent than carbon dioxide. The latest report from the lntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) titled ‘Climate Change and Land’ estimates that loss and waste of food caused between 8 and 10% of the emissions of the gases resp

A survey of more than 200,000 children by market intelligence company Kids Insights has shown that when it comes to food and drink decisions, children have an ever-increasing purchase power in the household. Not only that, but they also have very ‘real’ considerations, for example environmental concerns, that influence their shopping habits. They concern for the environment is showing consistent growth, indicative of how the ethics surrounding what they consume are integral.

Addressing food loss and waste is fundamental to the world achieving sustainable food systems and being able to feed a growing population with healthy, balanced diets. Many have suggested that certain food sources, particularly animal proteins, will be incompatible with the kind of sustainable production we need to create. However, despite increased trends for vegetarian and vegan diets in the World, it’s important to remember that elsewhere consumption of animal protein is a

“Biodiversity” — This is a hidden but real cost of food waste: it decimates biodiversity in a number of ways: 🌄Deforestation, especially in tropical areas, destroys natural flora and fauna, in the name of creating more land for food production. 🐿🐇🌳🌲 🐂🐄🐎 To increase production of livestock, natural land is turned into pastures. The more livestock graze and range on an area, the less natural and diverse the area becomes. 🐡🐠🐟 Fish are caught with little thought given
