The emphasis on a public service monarchy will be highlighted through the food project as a central theme of King Charles's birthday celebrations. The initiative aims to address the pressing issue of food insecurity for those facing financial challenges while also combating the widespread problem of unnecessary food waste.
«If a way could be found to bridge the gap between them, then it would address two problems in one,» the King says in the article which will be published on Monday.
«It is my great hope that this Coronation Food Project will find practical ways to do just that — rescuing more surplus food, and distributing it to those who need it most.»
The Coronation Food Project, launched by King Charles, addresses the pressing issue of food insecurity in the UK, where 14 million people are facing this challenge.
Despite the growing demand for emergency food assistance, millions of tonnes of food go to waste.
The initiative seeks to collaborate with supermarkets, farmers, and distributors to rescue surplus food and redirect it to those in need.
