Husband works at the #CourtyardDairy and we often acquire free samples of cheese or related things.. today I am experimenting with various milk based recipes using a super lively Turkish yoghurt culture. Will report back but 2 large batches of yog and some paneer on the go so far..and will make labneh with some of the yog. Even better we had a large donation of milk to our #CommunityFridge yesterday so didn't need to buy any. Now just need some ideas of what to do with all the whey! #CheeseMaking #SurplusFood

🌍 A third of the food produced in the world is lost or wasted throughout the chain, from farm to fork. How can we reduce this food loss and waste? In France, a study explored the creation of a ‘new link’ between the catering industry and food aid associations to redistribute surplus food. 🍽️🤝 #FoodWaste #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #FoodAid #SurplusFood

Reducing food waste by improving how institutional catering surpluses are distributed

One third of the food produced in the world is lost or wasted from farm to fork, which creates major environmental impacts and economic losses to the tune of USD 940 billion a year. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12.3 aims to reduce food losses and waste, with a specific goal of cutting them by half at the retail and consumer levels by 2030. European and international initiatives are striving to identify and tackle food loss and waste “hot spots”, monitor changes over time and evaluate public policies. To support such efforts, a study has explored the dynamics in France of a “new link” to connect institutional catering and food aid organizations to redistribute food surpluses.

I can assure you many people are really struggling with high cost of #Food - there was lots of extra #CostOfLiving funding over the winter which has now all disappeared. So if you are able to #donate see who is doing #FoodBank #CommunityFridge type projects in your area. We are hugely grateful for the #LotteryCommunityFund for supporting our #CommunityFridge but still need to buy extra food supplies as the amount of our #SurplusFood donations from supermarkets vary. If you are able to make a #donation to us or any similar projects it will be very gratefully received. #MutualAidRequest #MutualAid #FoodPoverty #Thankyou https://localgiving.org/fundraising/Settlecommunityfridge
