TOGETHER WE CAN ELIMINATE HUNGER IN MALAYSIA
The Lost Food Project (TLFP) is a Malaysian not-for-profit organisation dedicated to a sustainable future by rescuing ‘lost’ food and finding it a new home with people who need it most. TLFP prevents quality, nutritious food and other surplus goods from going to landfill, and redistributes this food and other essential items to those in need – regardless of religion, gender, age, disability or ethnic group.
Our Vision is a statement of what we aspire to, why we exist and the impact we want to have on society. Together, and only through the efforts of all our supporters, volunteers and partners, will our goals become reality.
OUR IMPACT GROWS DAILY
MEALS RESCUED
Globally, more than 820 million people struggle with hunger every day. In Malaysia 3,000 tonnes of edible food is thrown away each day which is enough to provide 10 million meals.
We rescue an average of 10 tonnes of good quality, surplus food per week from landfill. We are given this surplus food and other products by supermarkets, manufacturers and wholesale markets committed to reducing waste and feeding the less fortunate. With this rescued food we are able to provide an average of 33,000 meals a week for our charity partners and thousands of Malaysian’s living on or below the poverty line.

WHAT IS LOST FOOD?
Lost food is simply excess food; it is food that is in date, yet unwanted. There are many reasons why there is so much excess food, but what happens with that food next is what really matters.
Food waste is a global problem. Around 30% of food that is produced in the world goes to waste. Globally, if food waste could be represented as its own country, it would be the third largest greenhouse gas emitter.
Food over production leading to food waste is a huge challenge for our future and it is contributing to climate change in a devastating way.
