East London Lines ran a four day campaign in April which aimed to reduce food waste. The campaign combined a mixture of data, videos, interviews and articles to help layout the problem, whilst also profiling the creative firms who are utilising surplus food in innovative ways.
Open your fridge, grab the ingredients closest to their use-by date and create a recipe from food that would otherwise go to waste. This is the challenge set by The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) in their new campaign, #RecipeForDisaster, which aims to raise awareness and money for hungry people by asking the general public to be more conscious of their food waste – one of the fundamental steps towards eradicating global hunger.
We produce enough food globally to feed all the world’s 7 billion people, and yet, one in nine people still go to bed hungry each night.

Every day in the UK, 24 million slices of bread are thrown away – that’s a frightening 1 million slices every single hour.
Love Food Hate Waste has launched the Make Toast Not Waste campaign to help all of us in the UK reduce the astronomical amounts of bread that are currently going to waste, simply by popping our loaves in the freezer.
