An estimated quarter of a million tons of food goes to waste each year - at home, in shops and restaurants and in food processing plants. There's a lot of new technology being developed to help reduce some of the food that would otherwise go to waste. It works by connecting the people who might want to eat it with businesses that a selling it at a knockdown price. Simon Hoban tries out an App that claims to do this. Winifred Robinson also hears from Lindsey Boswell, Chief Executive of Fairshare, the UK's largest distributor of food waste to charities. First broadcast on You & Yours, 12 August 2019.
