Tackling Food Waste

Food waste is a huge problem - it is estimated that we waste 1.3 billion tonnes of food each year across the world. This contributes 8% of global carbon emissions. Throwing food away means that all the resources and energy that is needed to produce, transport, and cook it is wasted too. It's also a waste of the money you spent on it.

So what can you do? Check out the tips below, as well as our Zero Waste Cooking Series for ideas of recipes that don't waste food.
