DEAR SIR:

I’m not from a farm myself so please excuse my ignorance on the subject. Is there any way that members of the public can help farmers on the fodder crisis?

For example, can restaurants and pubs donate their fruit/vegetable peelings to feed livestock? Can supermarkets give farmers their out-of-date fruit and vegetables rather than dumping them?
