This was an event staged at Trafalgar Sq in order to help raise awareness about the phenomenal and unimaginable levels of food waste that accumulate and typically spoil, nationally and internationally. The food was distributed and delivered by FareShare, the countries largest food re-distributer of such circumstantial food to those needy socio-economic groups, and prepared by volunteers in the areas surrounding kitchens. The food was transformed into soup and various meals and offered up to a predicted 5,000 people.
FareShare collect food from supermarkets and manufacturers and re-distribute it to those in need, the event was essentially to raise widespread awareness. This wholly unjustafiable issue has plagued societies for far too long and it is about time an event such as this has been staged, hopefully it will inform the choices and prompt the general public into being vocal in the future. Sainsburys for example typically stock 5 varieties of apple, 3 of which I believe are grown out of the Uk when in fact the country has the capabilty of growing up to 2,300 different varieties as showcased in Brogdale, Kent.
