Customers are told to ‘pay as you feel’ by choosing how much to contribute.
Meanwhile, the TRJFP has launched the UK’s first food waste warehouse outlets in Leeds and Sheffield, selling food that is unwanted by supermarkets and other businesses. It has ambitious plans to open one in every major British city. In another inspiring development, the
efforts of one man led France to curb its supermarket food waste. Councillor Arash Derambarsh was instrumental in French supermarkets being required to donate their surplus to food banks and other charities. Food producers are starting to get
in on the act too. Snact is a British food maker that saves fruit from being
chucked, and turns it into a range of chewy fruit snacks. In Leeds, Northern Monk makes an ale called Wasted from unwanted croissants and pears. Perhaps the most important take-
home message from food waste cafés is a DIY ethos. Corin Bell is today a trustee with TRJFP. When she first approached Adam Smith about adopting the name and using it in her home city of Manchester, she received an email
back with the word “YES”, followed by multiple exclamation marks. ■
