A neighbourhood fridge: Why sharing food is knitting communities together
How can we make the most of our food?
In this episode Sarah explores how we can reduce the 300,000 tonnes of food waste that's thrown away every year in the UK and support local communities at the same time. One answer is community fridges.
She meets Shanthi Priyalatha, who runs the High Wycombe community fridge which redistributes surplus food to their neighbours. We also hear from Catherine Dishington, Food Policy officer at the Co-op.
The High Wycombe community fridge is supported with funding from the Rothschild Foundation.
