Avoid food waste, address food poverty ‘The WI calls on all supermarkets to sign up to a voluntary agreement to avoid food waste, thereby passing surplus food onto charities thus helping to address the issue of increasing food poverty in the UK’

Food waste Prevention Optimisation – Redistribution to people – Sent to animal feed Recycling Recovery Disposal Waste Prevention /reduction

Supermarket waste 200,000 tonnes of edible surplus is thrown away by supermarkets annually. Only 2% of this is being collected and redistributed. Doubling this redistribution (which would still only be 4%) would save the voluntary sector £160 million.

Recognising change should happen

Arguments for the resolution While food has been a longstanding concern for the WI, the NFWI has no mandate to address food poverty. This resolution would empower the NFWI nationally and WI members locally to lead on reducing food poverty. In this current economic climate, we cannot afford to continue such wasteful practices where good food is wasted, families go hungry, and the environment suffers. Now may be the time for the WI to add its voice to those calling for innovation in not only how we eat food, but how we dispose of our food. This resolution harks back to the WI’s historic roots in food production and feeding the nation – it would be a fitting resolution to carry us into our second century.

Arguments against the resolution The WI has already done significant work on food waste. Additionally, while national work on food poverty has not been possible due to a lack of mandate, a number of WIs have been working locally to support food banks. Is a national mandate necessary? Is the voluntary approach that this resolution calls for the best approach? Consumers, advocates, and charities have already tried to voluntarily persuade supermarkets to address food waste, thus far with limited success. Should the WI call for legislative or mandatory action on this issue instead? Almost half of all food waste in the UK is generated in the household, as opposed to just over 1% in supermarkets. If the WI is to tackle food waste, is a focus on individual action better than targeting supermarkets?
