The majority of food waste happens outside of the home. @FoodCloud links people who have a surplus of food with people who need food. I visited their warehouse today to launch the National Food Waste Prevention Roadmap. @greenparty_ie #zerowaste #foodwaste

I joined @smytho today for the launch of National Food Waste Prevention Roadmap. Thanks to @FoodCloud for hosting. We want to reduce food waste by 50% by 2030. Food waste costs families €700/yr & accounts for 8% to 10% of emissions so tackling it is a win-win for everyone.

Food loss and waste hurts the climate. The new #123PledgeToHalveFLW calls to action organization and government leaders to cut emissions by halving food loss and waste. #FoodIsNeverWaste, and there’s no time to waste for action. bit.ly/123Pledge

It’s the height of the British apple season and without doubt one of the best harvests in years. So why does the @marksandspencer food concession in Bristol Temple Meads station only sell apples from New Zealand and South Africa?
