Sheffield students feed 1000 with surplus food
Students in Sheffield have taken a stand against food waste by cooking a stew to feed over 1000 people using surplus food stocks.
The huge stew was made up of in-date food which would otherwise have been thrown out as part of a project to highlight food poverty and food waste across Sheffield.
Speaking about the project, Jack Wyse, Development Officer at the University of Sheffield Students’ Union said: “The Big Stew highlights how students can get involved with local projects.”
The project was organised by Sheffield On A Plate, a partnership involving the city’s two universities, Sheffield City College, FareShare Yorkshire and Grow Sheffield.
Ingredients for the stew were provided by Fareshare Yorkshire.
