460: The £3.2bn food waste challenge facing the food industry

<div>Each year, food waste costs the industry £3.2 billion. <br> <br> That’s according to WRAP, which found that 1.1 million tonnes of it comes from food services and hospitality.<br> <br> But businesses are often unsure of how to tackle the issue, so the cycle of waste continues.<br> <br> In 2019, WRAP launched Guardians of Grub, a campaign that aims to empower professionals from across the hospitality and food service sector to take action.<br> <br> Through providing support and resources, the campaign aims to equip them with the proper skills needed to address their food waste problems once and for all.<br> <br> So how is the campaign going? Is it assisting the sector in making the necessary changes? And how much of a dent will this make to the food industry’s waste problem?<br> <br> <strong>Guest:<br> Eleanor Morris, Special Advisor Hospitality and Food Service, WRAP</strong> </div>
