Slide CONTINUE THE JOURNEY » This is the first time that a thorough examination of all of a family's food waste has been carried out over a whole year. The food waste was dissected, weighed and sorted into different categories. The work has resulted in more than 1,078 images, with associated information and statistics. Every day and every picture is a little story in itself.
Part 1 of the project has become a book and several exhibitions. ORDER THE BOOK »
