About Feedback Trust

Feedback Trust, publicly known as Feedback, is an environmental organisation established in 2013 by campaigner Tristram Stuart to combat global food waste and foster a sustainable food system. Its mission centres on regenerating nature through food system transformation, eliminating waste across supply chains, promoting sustainable diets, reducing industrial livestock production, and advancing circular economies. The Trust employs a blend of evidence-led research, campaigns, policy advocacy, and practical interventions such as surplus food redistribution and community food loops. It prioritises upstream prevention over symptom relief, addressing deforestation, biodiversity loss, and social inequities affecting low-income communities. Its funding character is distinctive, eschewing traditional food aid for bold, campaign-oriented strategies that empower local action and challenge root causes.

What Feedback Trust funds

Feedback Trust funds projects that prevent food waste, build sustainable livelihoods, develop local circular food economies, and advocate against industrial agriculture. It supports work that tackles root causes of food system issues, including deforestation and biodiversity loss. The Trust favours grassroots groups, community food enterprises, and policy alliances operating across the UK, with a particular focus on England. It funds research, campaigns, and practical interventions that promote sustainable diets and reduce livestock production. The Trust supports project costs, core funding, and capacity building tied to systems-level innovation.

Who can apply

Eligible applicants are UK-based registered charities, community groups, and social enterprises that drive systemic change in the food system. The Trust shows a preference for small to medium organisations. It prioritises grassroots groups, community food enterprises, and policy alliances that work with low-income communities affected by food waste and environmental inequities. Organisations with a track record of bold, campaign-oriented approaches to food system reform are especially welcome.

What Feedback Trust doesn't fund

Feedback Trust does not fund capital infrastructure, emergency aid, or traditional food aid programmes. It also excludes projects that do not address root causes of food waste or that focus on symptom relief rather than systemic change.
