A fund to tackle food waste

Launched in July, the Eat It Up Fund called on small businesses, social enterprises, charities, local authorities and universities to come forward with innovative ideas that address food waste. The fund set out to fund a range of initiatives that target waste on farms, at manufacturing stage, from retailers and in people’s homes.

Hubbub has announced six winners of the Eat It Up Fund 2023, each awarded £40k to tackle food waste creatively.

According to WRAP, 10.7 million tonnes of food is wasted each year in the UK by households, hospitality & food services, food manufacturers, retailers and the farm sector.
