“The solution to food insecurity isn’t just producing more food – it’s making sure the good food we already have reaches the people who need it most. That’s why collaboration across the food system is so important.” Kevin Mackay, co-founder at Rethink Food
Every year, millions of tonnes of perfectly good food go to waste while families across the UK struggle to put healthy meals on the table.
That’s why the recent news on the distribution sectors collaboration across the food supply chain has never been more important. The seven main food redistributors have come together to sign a covenant pledging to triple food redistribution in the UK over the next decade.
This is a fantastic example of what can be achieved when organisations come together with a shared purpose, rescuing surplus food and ensuring it reaches the people who need it most.
At Rethink Food, we see first-hand the difference this makes to schools, families and communities. Food waste and food poverty shouldn’t exist side by side, and partnerships like these are helping to change that.
Well worth a read from the Convenience Store.
