The pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis have dramatically increased the number of people in food insecurity in the UK. Up to 10 million people, including 2.5m children, are now skipping meals and struggling to get enough food to eat.
Meanwhile, In the UK, more than 2 million tonnes of good-to-eat surplus food is wasted each year, the equivalent of 1.3 billion meals.
