Hubbub has launched a £200,000 fund to support innovative ideas to tackle food waste.
Eat It Up is a new grant fund aimed at finding and supporting creative approaches to reducing food waste. Hubbub is looking for projects that have either been tested and need funding to support their expansion or are at an earlier stage with a concept ready to trial.
The fund will support UK registered organisations with an early-stage food waste project with potential for impact at scale.
Hubbub is ready to back projects that do some or all of the following:
- address pre-farmgate waste (the food production process, up to the point where the products have been harvested and prepared as produce for sale)
- prevent food from being wasted at manufacturing and processing stage
- minimise food waste from retailers
- find ways to use surplus food in creative ways in communities or at home
