THERE’S an environmental message at the heart of this year’s Wirral Food And Drink Festival. The theme of this year’s gourmet extravaganza is wasting less of our precious food resources – and reducing the amount send to landfill.

Love Food Hate Waste is sponsoring this year’s festival.

It will have its team of eco-foodies alongside the chef demonstration area, showing how people can really make a difference with their food shopping.

Organiser Andrew Pimbley says: “We are absolutely delighted to have Love Food Hate Waste on board, because this is a campaign close to my own heart.

“We want people to think about the food they are eating, where it comes from and not let it go to waste.

“We want people to buy fresh, buy local and reduce waste.”

Love Food Hate Waste aims to raise awareness of the need to reduce food waste.
