MOO Food Zero Waste Kitchen Challenge Week 5

04 October 2021

6 September - 14 November 2021

Welcome to the 2021 MOO Food Zerowaste Kitchen Challenge! We are inviting as many people as possible, wherever you live, to take part in this 10 week challenge to see how much waste we can reduce between us! We are focussing on 5 topics; Composting, Storage & Packaging, Leftovers & Meal Planning, Cleaning and Out & About.

Food waste is a huge problem, especially in many parts of the Highlands where we don’t have food waste collection. The good news is, there is a lot we can do as individuals when it comes to reducing waste from our own homes. Our aim is to focus on helping people to think first of all about what you bring into your own home (this can save money as well as waste!), looking after it once it is there (with good storage, meal planning & recipes) and turning any unavoidable food waste into a valuable resource (via composting).

The Scottish Government is currently consulting on their future plan for local food, but what does ‘local food’ mean to you? Join this workshop as we delve a little deeper and gather a Highland community wide response for the recently published Local Food for Everyone consultation.

We will discussing questions like:

  • Why is local food important?
  • What do we want to see from a Local Food plan? - nationally and locally.
  • How can Scotland grow more of what it eats and eat more of what it grows?
  • How can a local food plan make the maximum positive impact on our environment and biodiversity?

This workshop is open to absolutely everyone!  Come add your voice to the consultation and find out about what is already going on in Highland.
