WRAP aims to tackle food waste in partnership with a range of stakeholder groups |
Dr Liz Goodwin, chief executive of the Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP), has insisted that the organisation has the funds to take its work on tackling food waste forward, despite this year’s budget cuts.
At the start of the year, WRAP revealed that the government had asked it to cut its annual budget by a quarter – or £15M. However, speaking to Food Manufacture, chief executive Dr Liz Goodwin said: “We have got a budget for food waste to do what we possibly can to push progress as far as we possibly can do.”
However, Goodwin said that WRAP had been forced to refocus on core priorities, as would be revealed in its business plan, which was scheduled to be published on June 11. The plan will be made public at the Chartered Institute of Waste Management conference in Torbay, Devon.
