Abstract

Food waste costs the UK billions of pounds each year and much of it is avoidable. The challenge for the WASTE FEW ULL research project was to produce and test methods for identifying inefficiencies in the food-energy-water (FEW) nexus in
urban settings. It used an Urban Living Laboratory (ULL) approach, which brought
together partners from academia, business, local government and the third sector – each bringing unique perspectives on the issues. One of the four urban areas chosen for the study was the city of Bristol in the UK, the others being San Paulo (Brazil), Franschhoek near Cape Town (South Africa), and Rotterdam Netherlands). The ULLS were supported by experts in macroeconomics from Norway and knowledge exchange from the USA
