Project Details

Sussex Surplus process food at risk of going to waste, into tasty, long-life products and community meals that demonstrate the solution to food waste is delicious. A key aspect of their mission is creating paid entry-level positions for young people facing barriers to entering employment. Their recipe is to add together surplus food with inclusive employment to create social value. It is unclear precisely how much food goes to waste every year, best estimates suggest between 30%-50%. This takes place across the supply chain, creating around 3.3 gigatonnes of CO2 emissions. By focusing on farm level surplus we have created a way for producers to cut out waste and keep nutritious food in circulation.
