Matt Homewood

Matt Homewood is a food waste campaigner on a mission to end supermarket food waste in Denmark and beyond. By disrupting the prevailing supermarket business model and collecting the food that has been discarded, he hopes that society can re-envision a more ethical and sustainable food system, one that results in a wilder planet for all. His urban harvesting exploits can be followed on Instagram @anurbanharvester and through his website matthomewood.com.
