WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

Our food system is broken. From field to fork, it’s riddled with inequalities and waste.

We want to help fix it.

  • Food Waste

    A whopping 40% of food produced across the world in never eaten. Just 17% of this is at the consumer level, showing that this problem exists all the way along the supply chain.

  • poor diet

    Poor diet is the biggest contributor to early deaths worldwide. That's more than smoking. It's a cold, hard fact. It also costs the UK economy an estimated £74 billion every year.

  • Inequalaties

    We recognise it's hard for everyone to eat the WHO-recommended 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day. Less than 1 in 10 of us in Europe do. Widening health inequalities in our society are due to the many economic barriers that exist to eating well.
