We have put together 6 useful tips that will help you get the most out of the food you buy.
Most of us don't realise how much of what we throw out could decompose naturally. Over 30% of your waste can be composted down and re-used to fertilise the garden. Things like fruit and vegetable peelings, tea bags and coffee grounds and even shredded paper or egg boxes are great for the compost bin. Even if you only have a small garden you can still compost at home and help divert waste from landfill.
