Readers of our OPINION AND OPPORTUNITIES  page, will have seen we have included an article about Clifton Nursey and how they are inviting customers to come in and pick their grapes, rather than to let them go to waste. This has made the FEAST office have a few interesting and lively discussions about how much food is wasted and how we all have a role in stopping this from happening, whether in the home, workplace or school.

One of our local primary schools, for example,  is still selling produce from it's vegetable garden to raise funds for playground equipment, and is using the left over soft fruits, onions, and other brightly coloured vegetables to dye clothing, to tie in with their Tudor project, showing pupils what clothes would then have been like - in terms of colour and smell back then! Well done to them for being so resourceful and for minimising waste - are you doing anything similar or know of other such intiatives? If so please feel free to add your comments.
