THE FORUM'S OBJECTIVES

Collaborative Approach

The Food Justice Forum promotes collaboration among stakeholders, including food vendors, charities, and consumers, to share best practices and innovative solutions for reducing food waste. Through workshops, forums, and community events, participants can learn from each other and develop strategies to minimise waste, improve food distribution, and enhance food security.

Raising Awareness

The Zero Waste Challenge educates the community about the importance of reducing food waste and its impact on food security. By highlighting that nearly 40% of food produced globally is wasted and emphasizing the environmental costs, such as the emission of methane gas from landfills and the waste of resources used in food production, the initiative fosters a greater understanding of the critical need to prevent food waste.

Community Development

The PilotProgramme encourages partnerships between local businesses, charities, and community organisations to develop and implement food waste reduction strategies. By working together, these entities can create a more efficient food system that benefits the entire community. For example, businesses can donate surplus food to charities, which in turn distribute it to those in need, thus reducing waste and supporting vulnerable populations.

Systematic Change

The Thrift Kitchen Throwdown aims to boost community economic development by showcasing how surplus ingredients can be creatively transformed into delicious dishes, thereby reducing food waste. This event will highlight the economic benefits of sustainable food practices for local businesses and promote eco-friendly habits among participants. By bringing together local chefs, vendors, and community members, the event fosters collaboration and raises awareness about the environmental impacts of food waste, such as greenhouse gas emissions
