Can you cut your household food waste to as close to zero as possible for a week? That’s the challenge being set by the first Food Waste Action Week!
What have we been doing at Cranswick?
This week, our sites across the country are being challenged to create a recipe in a hurry, from food that we commonly waste in the UK. Find the winners here!
Our new #FoodWasteActionWeek lorries will be travelling the country to spread the message that wasting food feeds climate change!
What can you do at home?
