Food waste is a large source of emissions both globally and in the UK.

· Around one third of all food produced globally is wasted each year, according to the United Nations.

· The UK generates approximately 9.5–9.6 million tonnes of food waste annually.

· Of this total, around 6.4–6.7 million tonnes (roughly two-thirds) is considered edible at the point of disposal.

· UK household food waste alone is estimated to be worth £14–£15 billion per year.

· The average UK household wastes food costing around £470 annually.

· An estimated 8.4 million people in the UK experience food insecurity, while edible food equivalent to tens of millions of meals is discarded each year.

· Food waste is responsible for around 25 million tonnes of CO₂-equivalent emissions annually in the UK, largely due to methane released when waste decomposes in landfill.

The Five Dinners app is the only service to tackle this problem by providing bespoke meal plans, live support, fully diverse/inclusive meal selection guided by a nutritionist, exact shopping list of ingredients to purchase, onboarding and comms support, educational tips and facts, access to online real life chef, and a data dashboard highlighting impact.
