Reducing Waste, One Fruit Kebab at a Time

Rescuing Surplus Food

Students explored the circular economy by learning how FareShare rescues surplus supermarket produce and redirects it to local food banks and community groups. To see this in action, the pupils made fruit kebabs using surplus fruit that was destined for the bin.

Key Takeaways for the pupils

• Environmental Impact: Understanding how cutting waste protects the planet.
• Practical Steps: Finding simple ways to reduce waste at home and school.
• Community Support: Learning how food redistribution helps local communities.

The pupils really impressed with their thoughtful questions on locally grown food and sustainability. Well done, Year 5
