Hubbub has launched a £200,000 fund to support innovative ideas to tackle food waste. Supported by Starbucks, we’re offering grants of up to £40,000.
The fund will back initiatives that do one or more of the following:
- Address pre-farmgate waste
- Prevent food from being wasted at the manufacturing and processing stage
- Minimise food waste from retailers
- Find creative ways to use surplus food in communities or at home
- The fund can support ideas that are ready to test, or concepts that have been tested and are ready to progress further.
The wider aims are to make a positive impact on the environment and communities.
