Changing our Approach to Food Waste Webinar
3.6 million tonnes of food is wasted by the food industry every year in the UK and over 2 million tonnes of the food that goes to waste each year is still edible.
How can food and drink businesses reduce food waste across their operations, save money and develop more long-term sustainable outcomes?
Join us on this FREE webinar to learn more!
ChicP is a sustainable food brand producing Veggie Bites and Hummus made from surplus vegetables.
Driven by a passion to change attitudes around food waste, Hannah McCollum, Founder, set up ChicP in 2015 to champion the use of locally sourced produce and repurposing surplus vegetables.
We will hear from Hannah who will share her journey of how she has developed a sustainable food brand, the aspirations she has for further growth and thoughts on how the food and drink sector can play its part in reducing food waste.
We will also be joined by Ticky Nadal and Laura Stratford, Joint Co-ordinators at Lincolnshire Food Partnership, who will share the initiatives they are currently working on to support a more integrated local food system.

Hannah McCollum, Founder, ChicP
ChicP was born in 2016 after Hannah McCollum , witnessed huge amounts of food waste whilst working as a private chef.
To get around this, and as a humus lover bored of bland alternatives, she would convert leftovers salads into tasty dips for the next day. Hannah transformed her love of healthy food and passion for change into a business that, today, creates sustainable, plant – based products and helps British farmers.
ChicP aims to help people make good choices for health, taste and the environment. They aspire to do this on a larger scale and become part of a wider movement of change within the world of food and farming.
