\"2015-11-25<\/a>There is good news on food waste this week.\u00a0 The supermarkets are going to use green satsumas.\u00a0 Or at least the skins are green.\u00a0 The insides are a normal orange colour but the skins have not gone orange due recent warm weather in Spain.<\/p>\n

Is this the start of realism from the supermarkets on food waste?\u00a0 I\u00a0 hope so.\u00a0 Worldwide about a third of all food produced is wasted.\u00a0 In the developing world this at the production end.\u00a0 In the developed world at the consumer\/supermarket end.<\/p>\n

I have recently been to a TEARFUND<\/a> event on this issue at my church.\u00a0 In our book<\/a> we suggested that 25% of the UK’s gas could come from biogas.\u00a0 The problem is much of this relies on food waste to produce it and there are very good reasons to cut down on food waste not least to do with tackling climate change.\u00a0 So whilst I’m slightly split on the issue I’m more convinced we need to tackle the problem.\u00a0 We will see whether the supermarkets simply felt they had no choice here (it was green or nothing) or whether this is the start of a move towards selling wonky looking vegetables.\u00a0 The farmers report that vast numbers of perfectly good to eat but slightly less than perfect fruit and veg is chucked. We will see.<\/p>\n
