For his efforts to combat wasted food, Tristram Stuart has won the Sophie Prize, an international environmental honor. Tristram has developed into a well-known advocate after the critical acclaim of his first book, The Bloodless Revolution and has worked in a number of nations to help reduce the environmental and social impact of food production. He showed that Western nations waste up to half of their food in his internationally acclaimed book, Waste: Uncovering the Global Food Scandal and that fixing this issue is one of the fastest ways to ease the burden on the environment and the world's food resources. Tristram founded Feeding the 5000 (www.feeding5k.org), a worldwide initiative to combat food waste and has been given the go-ahead to collaborate with the European Commission and the United Nations Environment Program on a global scale. Feeding the 5000 originally started in London's Trafalgar Square where 5,000 people were served free smoothies, curry and fresh groceries from tossed vegetables and other foods that would have originally been wasted but were repurposed. Since then, there have been over 40 events globally.
In order to bring attention to and address the issue of bread as one of the most frequently discarded foods in the UK, he started Toast Ale. Toast Ale is a tasty craft beer made with leftover fresh bread. Since bread is produced in such large amounts, food banks and food recovery organizations regularly turn away fresh, unsold loaves making Toast Ale the first sustainable solution to the problem. In addition to keeping expensive, resource wealthy grains for human consumption, 100% of Toast Ale's proceeds go to Feedback and other organizations addressing the reasons behind food waste..
