Join Foodstand and our partners in pledging a #NoFoodWaste November. Learn how and share your good food deeds with #NoFoodWaste to win prizes. This week - win prizes from Dig Inn and Farm to People!
1. Join the Foodstand Community via our iPhone app.
2. Post as many photos as you like of your good no-food-waste deeds, and apply #NoFoodWaste.
3. Challenge your friends to a #NoFoodWaste November! We will curate some of the best posts to highlight with our partners.
Foodstanders say No. Food. Waste.
