#UK - '#FoodWaste could help our farmers'

Maisie Olah, 22 March 2026

"A Labour MP has said a new weekly food waste recycling service could help #farmers, by turning food waste into #fertiliser.

"Mary Creagh, MP for #Coventry East, said taking food waste out of black bins and putting it 'into #anaerobic digestion to create #digestate fertiliser' will help farmers due to fertiliser prices soaring because of 'conditions in the Middle East'.

"Coventry City Council will introduce a new weekly food waste recycling service for households in September - five months after the government's deadline.

"Twenty-three litre food caddies will be distributed to residents and will be collected five days a week, leaving other bins to be collected on different days of the week."
