Edible #FoodWaste from farms will be redistributed to homeless shelters, food banks and charities, according to The Guardian https://lnkd.in/eTBSu-Jk £15m will be made available to food distribution charities in England to buy equipment to collect and process bulky food items, technology to help farms and charities work together and IT training for staff. In the UK, an estimated 330,000 tonnes of edible food is either wasted or repurposed as animal feed before leaving farm gates every year. Our CEO, Harriet Lamb said: "It gives a flying start to the New Year, ensuring that food charities and the farming sector can both make a difference immediately and can develop long term solutions. Every year, the amount of surplus food being redistributed is going up, but sadly the need is also increasing so this gives a much-needed boost." Do you think this scheme will make a difference?
