The Great Food Upcycle

17/11/2017

Hey everyone! Thank you for an amazing pledge day, we had a blast. It's been an enjoyable and inspiring journey learning about and spreading ideas about food waste with you all. Hopefully we've made a difference in the way you think, because it's certainly changed the way we approach food!

As promised there was a chance at a £10 amazon voucher to anyone who pledged today and that was won by Lizzy Yapp, so congrats to her! Furthermore the lovely people over at SUBCULTURE said they would be happy to get involved with what we're doing. They're a great online magazine so check them out if you want to hear a little more from us or just want to read some interesting pieces from some fab writers feel free to check them out!

You may see a couple of little extra things from us over the next couple of days but we'd still like to say a big thank you to everyone for making this as fun and informative as it was

A couple weeks ago, I visited the staff, children & parents at Noah’s Ark Preschool who are involved in a food sharing project by Tescos . From the scheme, they were given lots of delicious fruit for the kids and I got to talk to the parents about the benefits of reducing their household food waste

Yesterday, I spoke to some of the students of Falmouth School about and what they can do to help! Teaching the next generation about critical climate change issues is vital to ensure that the fight against climate change doesn't end with us!

Reducing your food waste isn't just about saving money (but it is a happy bonus!). We also need to change our food habits to make things easier in the future. The worlds population is growing rapidly, and more people means more mouths to feed. If we want to be able to increase food production we need to improve its efficiency. You can help, by upcycling your food and reducing your food waste, the food that's grown will become the food that's eaten, not thrown away. Reduce your food waste today.

Here's some benefits of upcycling your food. Did you know that the average 4 person family could save £60 a month if they reduced their food waste.That's £720 a year! So make sure you properly store your food, freeze your leftovers, and upcycle your food to help you and the environment.

Remember to use up those apples, even the bruised ones!

They have just as much to give as the perfect ones.
