Every year in the UK we throw away £12 billion worth of food which could have been eaten.

The Love Food Hate Waste programme from WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme) is all about easy, practical everyday things we can all do to waste less food.

If we all stopped wasting food that could have been eaten, it would have the same environmental impact as taking 1.8 million cars off our roads. 

Lovefoodhatewaste.com has lots of delicious recipes to use up leftovers, handy hints and tips for storing food to make it last longer, a portion calculator to help you cook the right amount, and information on what food labels mean.

There is something for everyone, whether you are a keen cook, or simply want to reduce the amount of food which you throw away.
