Random Cafe

Random Café is a not-for-profit project. We aim to reduce food waste, campaign to make our food system fairer and more sustainable, and support our local community. Our mission is simple – to feed bellies, not bins! We do this by working with local supermarkets, businesses, shops, food producers and farms – intercepting food that would otherwise be thrown away, reducing needless landfill and feeding hungry bellies with delicious food instead. Random Café’s aim is to reduce food waste, and its huge environmental impact. Around 15 million tonnes of food is wasted each year in the UK alone, and the vast majority of that food is perfectly edible. When we waste food we also waste land, water, diesel used in farming, packaging, energy to refrigerate and so much more. The lowest carbon, most sustainable thing we can do with food that is going to go to waste is put it in a belly, any belly, rather than a bin, any bin (landfill, anaerobic digestion or compost).
