Honored to see The Spare Food Co. recognized in The Guardian alongside other amazing leaders in the #upcycled food space like Pulp Pantry and Matriark Foods. Few publications are this consistent and vocal in their reporting on #climatechange and #climateinnovation. We often lament that #foodwastereduction is not given more airtime as a viable solution to the climate crisis. This is a great moment to raise awareness for everyone working to make meaningful and actionable change in our #foodsystem. https://lnkd.in/gqy9bSDT

Creating more ways to use more of what we already grow and produce.
About us
It is well documented that roughly 1/3 of all food that is produced is wasted. Many are making great strides to re-use and re-distribute food waste. But few are aware that the biggest impact we can have is by reducing the amount of waste we create in the first place. Spare Food is a culinary innovation company committed to a post-food waste world. We reduce food waste at farms and processors by capturing overlooked and unused ingredients. Using the innovative culinary skills of our co-founder, Chef Adam Kaye (formerly Culinary Director at Blue Hill), we transform these "lost" ingredients into delicious value-add products and dishes that we sell to foodservice, hospitality and restaurant partners, and (soon) directly to consumers.
