Take part in UKHarvest’s online sessions and help cut food waste

Hosted by UKHarvest’s associate nutritionist Ffion Hayward, the free Food Knowledge events take place online at 2pm on the fourth Wednesday of each month.

Ffion said: “These sessions are ideal for anyone wanting to understand food and its effect on your body and the planet. We will explore which foods are in season and most nutritional, as well the benefits of eating these.”

In the next session, on September 23, Ffion will talk about seasonal eating – what vegetables on offer and why choosing locally-sourced seasonal produce is good for the planet and for you.

Further sessions will deal with fighting food waste and food portions.

The 45-minute Zoom sessions are simple to sign-up to – just register at www.ukharvest.org.uk/food-knowledge

The UKHarvest website also includes recipes and cooking videos from The Hairy Harvesters.

The charity’s mission is to educate people on how to eliminate hunger and reduce food waste through the redistribution of quality surplus food.
