Love Food Hate Waste launches free phone app

The Love Food Hate Waste (LFHW) campaign has today (April 24) launched a phone app to assist with food budget planning, shopping and making the most of left-overs and recipes while on the go.

Love Food Hate Waste has launched a phone appThe free app is available for both iPhone and Android devices, and includes features such as a portion planner and meal planning diary; hundreds of recipes; and a ‘My kitchen’ section, which enables users to store details of all the foods stored at home.

The app also offers a ‘My profile’ area where users can record what they have cooked, culinary ‘achievements’, and, the chance to opt for connecting via Facebook or Twitter with friends and family who also use the app.

LFHW’s Emma Marsh said: “Wasting less food is not only good for our pockets, but it’s also good for the environment, helping to save energy and water, and reducing our carbon footprint. By making all this information available via the new free app, we want to make it even easier for people to get the most from the food they buy.”

The LFHW campaign is funded by the non-profit Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP)
