Background to Greener Food

Our capital offers 60 different cuisines in over 12,000 restaurants, 6000 cafes and 5000 pubs, and more. 

Londoners produce nearly 900,000 tonnes of food waste - enought to feed 8 million people! And nearly all of the fruit and half of the vegetables we buy in the UK comes from abroad.

This waste and the distance travelled by our groceries is costly to your business and has a damaging effect on the environment. Greener Food is helping businesses boost their profits and reputation by tackling this damage.

Greener Food is a Three year project, running until March 2009, with funding by the London Development Agency.

You can find out about the Greener Food partner organisations  here.
