kcf.keepcornwallfed. tackling food waste to feed food poverty, we are located in one of the most food poverty areas in the UK but the same area has high food waste, we will use the two to help one another. We have pledged to feed 5000 people in food poverty by the end of 2017.just us two chefs who have converted a old horsebox into a pop up kitchen which we will serve paying customers at events or on the beach. for every meal we sell we will donate and prepare a meal back to those who need it. This will engage the public in what we do and by eating with us you become one of the 5000. we are tackling waste from suppliers we trust and contribute to us and the surrounding community,through there high standards to the consumer this can create waste, but it is only waste if they have no use for it and we have identified a use. although not tackling the big culprits of waste, we hope to create a change in how a business and consumers think.if KCF can influence the consumer so they demand that waste becomes surplus and that it is used in a more efficient manner then the bigger culprits will follow suit.if business can acknowledge waste is a by product of having high standards but turning the waste in surplus and donating back to your community is what consumers want. we have faith that communities and customers will want to get involved and will be proud in the fact that they can say we are the 5000. we are taking no wages for this project and we will do this in our spare time. social media is our powerful tool please follow us on twitter #keepcornwallfed Facebook kcf.keepcornwallfed

A self-sufficient business not looking for profit; just wanting to transform good quality food waste into perfectly healthy and delicious meals for those in food and nutrient poverty.HOW Through building strong relationships with local suppliers, we are able to harvest ingredients straight from the source. We then create quality meals for a paying customer. For every meal sold we will then donate a prepared and cooked meal to those in need.WHY We want to be able to change the way the world perceives waste food, by regarding 'waste' as surplus instead. We will create trade for local businesses by regularly purchasing their quality food and then going on to utilize their surplus stock to help eliminate food poverty.

The success of this idea is not measured in profit but by how many people use our service and how many lives we can impact from that. We believe the future will be about how we look at our waste - or surplus - and how as a business we can positively effect those around us. surplus make nutritious ready meals for those who need it. all that is needed is a commercial kitchen .It is our belief that whilst there is still food being wasted, there is still food to be used.
We can eliminate food poverty if we and educate others to do the same with their surplus stock. -
when food surplus is high we can use that for animal feed. the animal can then be used to feed those in food t poverty. local areas could feed them as a community using there house hold waste then donate back but have some cooked , maybe as a community event? bringing society together over a meal. We feel this idea is achievable, so much so we have already started it ourselves. solve a genuine problem with like minded suppliers in the trade.... . by turning there waste into the reason we would trade with them it makes this appealing to both parties.
