Fighting Climate Change and Boosting Upcycled Food Awareness

 

PROJECT SUMMARY

The Upcycled Food Association (UFA) is a pioneering nonprofit that helps reduce food waste by transforming surplus food into high-quality, sustainable products. By promoting the creation and consumption of upcycled food, UFA aims to address one of our time's most critical environmental challenges. Their innovative approach not only helps prevent food waste but also provides consumers with sustainable choices, significantly impacting global warming.

The J.W. Couch Foundation partnered with the UFA to produce a series of commercials to educate consumers about upcycled food products. These commercials were designed to raise awareness about the benefits of upcycled foods, encouraging consumers to make informed purchasing decisions that contribute to reducing food waste. Consumers must recognize and purchase upcycled products for this solution to be effective.

While any nonprofit can benefit from video assets, Upcycled Food Foundation has a uniquely large interest in these kinds of assets because of our need for widespread consumer education and the need of our industry to spread its message to a large number of food shoppers. Our thesis is that the more upcycled products people buy, the more food waste will be prevented. About 80% would be interested in buying upcycled products, but currently, less than 10% of consumers know what upcycled products are. These amazing videos help us illuminate the need for marketing assets, and we are thrilled with how they turned out. ”

The Idea

Project Icon

The UFA team needed videos to educate consumers on the benefits of upcycled food, demonstrating how their purchasing decisions can contribute to reducing food waste and combating climate change. They also wanted the videos to highlight the variety and quality of upcycled food products available, helping consumers recognize and choose these products in the market. 

The Production
