Zero Waste Food Challenge
Welcome to the Zero Waste Food Challenge
This resource is designed to help individuals and households reduce food waste at every stage of the food waste journey.
The challenge shows the impact we can all have by making small changes at home and how these can benefit the environment, save us money and help us to make healthier choices at the same time.
It builds on the Zero Waste Kitchen Challenge developed by MOO Food in the Black Isle, and expanded by the HCWP.
Here you’ll find the short videos on each of the topics to help you to reduce food waste and save money in your own household. There are also links to further info, recipes and resources on each of the topics in the PDF’s.
Here you can see if there are any local workshops near you to help you reduce food waste across the 6 topics.
We can provide you with the resources to deliver your own zero waste food challenge in your community.
The challenge is designed to help make saving money and reducing your food waste easy, fun and provides opportunities to learn news skills.
Each short video will take you through the topic and suggest small changes you could try in your own household to make a difference.
You can also download the PDF’s on each topic too for more tips, tricks & recipes.
Before you make any changes, we suggest taking a note of how much money you usually spend on your food shopping per week as well as how much food waste you usually put into your bin per week. This is so you can see for yourself how much of an impact you are making along the way!
