FareShare, the UK’s largest charity tackling food waste for social good, has released a mini-manifesto calling on political parties to tackle the staggering levels of food waste in the UK. By making redistributing surplus food to people a priority, parties can commit to strengthening communities across the country by delivering more surplus food to those in need. FareShare works with the food industry to redistribute good-to-eat surplus food to a network of 8,500 charities and community groups across the UK. It also sets out recommendations to help the UK become a world leader in redistributing surplus food. The UK is lagging behind its counterparts like the USA, France and Spain in redistributing surplus food.
