Volunteers from Shropshire Master Composters with the support of waste management staff at Shropshire Council have been educating the public about food waste prevention.
Its all part of a district wide project funded by the Central Area Partnership to reduce the environmental impact of food. This involves promoting local food to reduce food miles, encourage composting and food waste prevention to stop food waste going to landfill and encouraging people to cook from scratch to get people to eat more fresh food which can reduce packaging.
To encourage this, we have helped organise a series of public cookery demonstrations which alongside stalls selling local produce and environmental education activities such as composting clinics as helped to get more people around the Shrewsbury area to think about food and how to be greener when we are buying, using and disposing of food.
