Environmental charity, Hubbub, has announced seven winners of its Eat It Up Fund, which powers bold and creative solutions to tackle food waste.
In the UK, 10.7 million tonnes of food are wasted each year by UK households, food service, food manufacturers, retailers and farming.
Now in its second year, the Eat It Up Fund looks for innovative solutions to address pre-farmgate edible waste, prevent edible food from being wasted at manufacturing and processing stage, minimise edible food waste from retailers and find ways to use surplus edible food in creative ways in communities or at home.
This year’s winners, who will each receive a grant of up to £60,000 and support from Hubbub to develop their ideas over the coming 12 months, are: Newcastle University, Chefs in Schools, Big Ideas Company, The People’s Pantry, The Felix Project, Streetbox and Angry Monk.
