Today is an important day for us!
.
Not only is it the first ever International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste (IDAFLW) but today also sees the launch of the South African Food Loss and Waste Voluntary Agreement by the Consumer Goods Council of South Africa (CGCSA).
.
This marks the beginning of initiatives that will ensure that surplus food which is still safe for human consumption can be donated to foodbanking initiatives like FoodForward SA.
.
Getting more supply chain partners to donate quality edible surplus food will support the Consumer Goods Forum’s (CGF) commitment to halving food waste by 2025.
.
Follow the link in our bio to read more about the agreement.

Just over a week ago, on Tuesday 15 September, we launched our ninth mobile rural depot!
.
FoodForward SA’s MRD programme now reaches just over 50 000 vulnerable people living in rural areas throughout South Africa. This latest addition is our third in KwaZulu-Natal and will initially serve 1 651 vulnerable people through a network of seven beneficiary organisations located in Mtubatuba, Kwangwanase, Thokoza and Nongoma in the north of the province.
.
According to Statistics South Africa, KwaZulu-Natal is the province with the highest number of rural areas in South Africa.

The global carbon footprint from food waste is app

The global carbon footprint from food waste is approximately 3.6 Gt of CO2eq per year. This is unacceptable, considering that there are so many people who can benefit from surplus food.
.
FoodForward SA helps reduce GHG emissions throughout the food supply chain, by diverting quality edible surplus food towards feeding vulnerable people and consequently reducing the need for increased food production to feed people.
.
During our 2019/2020 financial year, FoodForward SA saved the environment in excess of 20,000 tons of GHG emissions simply by diverting surplus food to feed vulnerable people.
.
Thanks to your support, we are well on our way to surpass this.

Helping beneficiary organisations offer important

Helping beneficiary organisations offer important and life-changing support in rural areas is close to our hearts.
.
The cost to collect food from our warehouses was a major prohibitive factor for beneficiary organisations in rural areas hoping to join our network. To help them, FoodForward SA launched its Mobile Rural Depot programme in 2019.
.
Our MRD programme does not require us to set up costly physical infrastructure and allows us to get the most value from each donation received.
