The event was part of a new global movement called “disco soup”, which aims to inspire action against food waste. Each disco soup event sees hundreds of kilos of unused vegetables taken from markets, bakeries, farms and restaurants to be recycled. More than 1,000 people were expected to take part in Friday’s event in London, organised by Feedback and thought to be the UK’s largest ever disco soup, as the events are named. The disco soup concept started five years ago in Berlin as a “protest soup” against food waste, and fed 8,000 people. Andrea Rasca, the founder of Mercato, said: “Disco soup is a global movement that celebrates delicious solutions to food waste.
