Details of the 2012 Cambridge Film Festival will appear here shortly

In a world constantly battling against famine, TASTE THE WASTE presents an uncomfortable truth: 50 percent of all food is thrown away: every second salad, every second potato and every fifth loaf of bread. The majority ends up in waste disposals before it even reaches the consumer. Valentin Thurn asks urgent questions: Who turns food into waste? What are the consequences of the global food waste for our climate, and for seven billion people? He finds answers from farmers, supermarket managers, garbage men and cooks in Germany, Austria, Japan, France, Cameroon, Italy and the US. He also finds people who have developed alternatives to stop this waste. TASTE THE WASTE is a documentary everyone should see - one that, despite its shocking message, offers hope.

The screening on Sat 24 Sept 8.15pm screening is followed by a talk with:

Gill Matheson, Local Partnership Advisor for WRAP (working for the LOVE FOOD HATE WASTE initiative, www.wrap.org.uk)
&
Jen McConnell from Foodcycle (FoodCycle combines volunteers, surplus food and a free kitchen space to create nutritious meals and positive social change in the community www.foodcycle.org.uk)
