A third of the food we buy in the UK ends up being thrown away - that's 6.7 million tonnes. Not only is that a huge waste of money and food which could feed hungry people, but it's a waste of energy and resources in processing and transporting it.

If you find that you are throwing away uneaten food the good news is that there are a few quick and easy things you can do to reduce the amount.
