This first episode of the podcast - which was recorded just before Christmas, hence the references to Brussel sprouts and the festive season - introduces the work of Hannah McCollum who founded ChicP - a company that gathers food that would otherwise go to waste from local markets, and produces very tasty sweet and savoury hummus.

Food Is Wasted - Documenting the issue of food waste

ChicP - Hummus from surplus vegetables

Food Is Wasted started off as a documentary photography project by Chris King, initiated by a desire to raise awareness about the many and varied initiatives fighting to reduce avoidable food waste. It’s hoped that the project will play some part in helping to engage people, and motivate them to take action – however small – be it by volunteering for an organisation, or being more conscious of the food they waste as individuals, and proactively try to reduce it.
