  • How the Tudors dealt with food waste

    More than 10 million tons of food is wasted in the UK each year.

  • RIVM researcher: healthier and more sustainable food does not have to be expensive

    Healthier and more sustainable food choices does not necessarily mean people have to pay more, according to RIVM researcher Reina Vellinga, who has written about the subject in a thesis for which she will get her doctorate on Wednesday at the Wageningen University & Research.Her research claims climate-friendly and healthier food is possible at costs comparable to the current prices. This goes for people of all socioeconomic groups.

  • Going Green: Tackling the mountain of food waste each day

    We’re all guilty of chucking food in the bin – whether that’s leftovers from a cooked meal, brown bananas that have turned in the fruit bowl or food that’s out of date in the fridge or cupboard.
