The scheme will give grants of £20,000 or more to the not-for-profit food redistribution sector in England.
The main idea is the launch of a £15 million government fund in England to combat food waste by helping charities collect and distribute surplus food from farms to those in need.
The fund will provide grants to charities to purchase equipment, technology, and training, enabling them to efficiently collect and process large quantities of surplus food that would otherwise go to waste.
This initiative aims to create a more collaborative system between farmers and charities, ensuring that edible food reaches those experiencing food insecurity while minimizing environmental impact.
