Unwanted: Closing The Food Gap: Sorting Waste, Saving Lives - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In a Britain of plenty—where fields and factories produce enough to feed 70 million—why do 8.4 million go hungry while 9.5 million tonnes of food rot in skips? Unwanted: Closing The Food Gap rips open this scandal, exposing a system that sorts the unwanted—dented tins and bruised lives—to the margins for profit. From Tesco’s gleaming shelves to food bank queues, meet Sarah, a hungry Leeds schoolgirl; Lisa, her stretched-thin mum; and Stevie, a Glasgow rough sleeper—discarded alongside bruised apples and stale bread.

With raw honesty and a sharp eye, this book traces the big sort: supermarkets chasing cash, apps picking the semi-wanted, and a nation wasting billions while kids fade. But it’s not all grim—here’s the fightback. From France’s game-changing laws to Peckham’s scrappy kitchens, from corporate pledges to your own freezer, solutions spark hope. Unwanted: Closing The Food Gap isn’t just a wake-up—it’s a toolkit, urging you to sort back in what’s been tossed out.

Compelling, urgent, and British to the bone, this is the story of waste and want—and how we fix it. One apple, one life at a time.
