This week we chat to Adam Smith, Co-founder and CEO of Surplus to Purpose. He’s on a mission to stop food waste and highlight the environmental issues created by surplus food.
To date he’s diverted over 8,000 tons of surplus food away from landfill and provided over 19 million meals.
A professional chef for over 10 years, it was in Australia that Adam first witnessed the scale of food waste, agriculturally and within the catering industry. He returned to the UK on a mission to ‘feed bellies not bins’ and set up an environmental enterprise to intercept surplus food destined for the waste stream.
