History says, Don’t hope
On this side of the grave...
But then, once in a lifetime The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme.
Blessed are the peacemakers.
Rest in Peace David Trimble.

In the UK, we waste approximately 7 million tonnes of edible food every year. At the same time, millions of people, including half a million children in London, go hungry.
£30 delivers 183 meals.

To mark the start of #COP26 in Glasgow, we've partnered with world-renowned photographer, Rankin. The series looks at turning the lens on the hidden impact of food waste, highlighting that its carbon cost can be even higher than that of plastic waste.

Food loss & waste isn’t just about perfectly good food not making it to our tables, or the money we waste when it gets thrown out instead of eaten.
The real cost of food goes far beyond what we pay for it.
Stop food loss & waste. For the people. For the planet!

Over 2 million tonnes of edible food is wasted on farms and in factories every year – perfectly good food that could be going to feed people. See @FareShareUK #FoodOnPlates initiative and how you can act at >> foodonplates.org

#Foodwaste by British households has returned to pre-pandemic levels with the reopening of the economy, according to latest survey by @WRAP_UK.
“The return of busy lifestyles means we are falling back into our old ways,” says @sarahcWRAP

It’s #FoodWasteActionWeek and it’s time to stop wasting food. One way that we can tackle food waste at home is by using up every edible part of our food, like potato peel or broccoli stems. @LFHW_UK are sharing tips on this and more at lovefoodhatewaste.com/fwaw
