Conclusion
In the first two years we have bought over 50 partners on board, engaged 30,000 local people through events and digital activities, helping a proportion to significantly cut their waste. Covid-19 has made delivery of the campaign challenging and yet it has made delivery of the campaign more vital than ever, as household and local authority budgets become further stretched, and interest in the link between our lifestyles and climate change has increased.
Much has been learnt in the first two years of the campaign and we are proud of the partnership’s ability to adapt and still deliver a positive impact when faced with the novel coronavirus. We’re pleased to be able to share our learning from this formative period, and look forward to the year ahead.
Year Three will forge new partnerships, hone and amplify existing materials and trial new approaches to ensure that Food Savvy remains relevant to households across Norfolk and Suffolk and that our seven-year goal remains in sight.
The final word on food waste
The challenge we face is great and we cannot create this much needed culture shift around food waste on our own. We are calling on anyone with an interest in improving our environment and food culture to join the Food Savvy community and share our materials and your experiences with your community, colleagues, family and friends.
