About Event

Did you know that RM 1 is all it takes to create 5 meals?

'Love Food No Waste' is a fundraising campaign organised by the Clean Our Plate (COP) project from AIESEC in UNMC, where we are raising funds for The Lost Food Project to support their operations and services.

The Lost Food Project (TLFP)

Who Are They?

TLFP is a not-for-profit organisation rescuing lost food and giving it to those in need. The idea to rescue “lost food” in Malaysia came about in 2015. So many supermarkets and manufacturers were needlessly sending good food to landfill; meanwhile charities were spending what little they had to buy food or seek sponsorship for food to feed the vulnerable. The opportunity was there to make a big impact, where in February 2016, TLFP signed the first surplus food donation supermarket contract with GIANT.

They ensure our food rescue remains cost-effective by consistently working to secure partnerships with major food suppliers and through fundraising. They've manage to feed thousands of beneficiaries per week, thanks to community spirit and a hard-working volunteer team.

With the cooperation and support of our partners, TLFP rescues tons of surplus food each week and gives it to our charity partners that provide nutritious meals for Malaysia’s most vulnerable people.

Vision

Deliver 50,000 meals per week and eliminate hunger in Malaysia regardless of age, disability, ethnic or religious group.

Mission

Tackle some of the biggest issues of today, which is food poverty and environmental sustainability; at the same time, reducing cost for both industry and the government.


How would TLFP use the funds?

Funds will not only be used to help keep their trucks running and their warehouse stocked with food, but it also helps them to scale operations to meet rising demands for food aid in Malaysia. .

It will also be used for combat climate change by preventing food from going to landfills.

Clean Our Plate Project

COP is a project in AIESEC in University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus, where we organise volunteering programme and activities that targets the United Nations' 12th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), which is Responsible consumption and Production.

Approximately one-third of all food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted worldwide. According to SWCorp Malaysia, 44.5 percent of the 16,667.5 tonnes of food waste is generated in Malaysia daily. About 24 percent of the total food waste is still edible, with the quantity sufficient to feed 2,970,000 hungry people, three times a day.

Therefore, the project's vision is to eliminate at least 50% of the food waste among youths in Malaysia by 2030 through cultivating responsible consumption habits.

We are dedicated to increase awareness, change attitudes and initiate easy & obvious actions of youth towards reducing preventable food waste & fully utilising food waste, influencing their peers and households.

In the past, COP has conducted both physical and virtual activities, such as awareness workshop, Composting Workshop and others.

About the Campaign

Our aim for this campaign is to raise funds for both TLFP and COP, as well as spreading awareness about the importance of responsible consumption. Our goal for this campaign is achieve at least a minimum of RM2500. 70% of the funds will be allocated to TLFP to support their needs, while the rest of 30% will be allocated to COP, where it will help the sustainability of the project to continue impact and spread awareness about food waste among youths.
