Making the most of food, it’s in our nature

Did you know the average UK household wastes around £60 worth of food a month? That’s £720 per year!

1/3 of all food that gets produced is wasted, meaning that if food waste were a country, it would be the third-largest emitter of climate changing greenhouse gases after China and the US! What we eat also has an impact on the environment. A huge 25% of global emissions come from food and more than half of this comes from animal products. Meat, especially beef and lamb, has a higher carbon footprint because of the land, water, and energy used to feed and rear animals and the emissions produced by animals themselves (yes that’s cows belching!).  

The good news is that we have daily opportunities to make a difference with our forks.
