Our ‘Full Circle’ project, made possible thanks to funding from the UK Community Renewal Fund,is providing farmers, producers, suppliers and food retailers with a trio of online platforms to help them chart their journey to sustainability.
Our project is also providing a matchmaking service that is linking hospitality businesses with producers and suppliers who have food produce that would otherwise go to waste.
Over a third of all food produced globally goes to waste, and in the UK,
we throw away around 9.5 million tonnes every year.
When we waste food, we also waste all the energy and water it takes to grow, harvest, transport, and package it. And if food goes to the landfill and rots, it produces methane—a greenhouse gas even more potent than carbon dioxide.
We want everyone to make conscious decisions about where we buy our food and drink and our apps and interactive map will help people do just this.
The full circle project concluded in Winter 2022.
