What is the issue?

UK households alone waste £12 billion worth good food and drink each year, costing the average family with children £680 a year, or around £50 a month. Most of this food and drink waste could have been avoided if only we’d eaten it in time, or knew how much food to prepare, and what we could do with our leftovers.

Why does food waste matter?

Wasting food and drink is a waste of money. It is also an unnecessary waste of energy and natural resources which went into the production, storage, preparation, packaging and transportation of that food. If we could stop throwing good food away, we could save the equivalent carbon emissions as taking 1 in 5 cars off UK roads.

Love Food Hate Waste is a national initiative to try and address this issue. It offers practical tips about a range of food-saving measures, from planning to food portioning, and from better food storage to using up leftovers. More details about this initiative can be found at: www.lovefoodhatewaste.com
