Bradford, West Yorkshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/29/2016 -- One of Britain's top hotel chains which include the renowned Ibis, Pullman and Novotel groups is addressing the issue of food waste and has set a healthy goal to reduce waste by a whopping 30% by creating vegetable gardens at its numerous venues. Restaurants at the hotel will be required to assess and address wastage by recording and weighing food to be discarded in a bid to determine exactly how much goes to waste each year.

The Accorr Group plan to be supportive of urban agriculture by creating 1,000 vegetable gardens across the hotel sites by 2020 .The UN's Food and Agricultural Organization estimates that up to one third of all food produced is being wasted and implies there is ample room for improvement in terms of reducing waste whilst additionally tackling world poverty and reducing the carbon footprint of mass production and transportation. Accor Hotels claim to have vastly reduced water and energy consumption in previous environmental plans and in the news plans aim to make even more cuts.

A spokesperson for Leeds Hydro Store said "It's incredible to see a large chain like Accor Hotels tacking the problem of food waste seriously and tackling it in such an innovative fashion. We can only hope that more hotel chains and indeed other companies follow the same approach to ensure the sustainability of sources for future generation."

Bradford, West Yorkshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/26/2016 -- Hydroponics has been championed by many as the premier method for cost effective and sustainable food production amidst increasing world poverty and high demand for safe, healthy food sources. Hydroponic growing presents numerous benefits as it uses artificial lighting and does not require the use of soil, enabling it to be used absolutely anywhere.

IKEA stores in the UK are set to add an indoor hydroponic garden system to their already expansive product range, bringing growing potential directly to the kitchen of enthusiasts. The system will be rolled out in May and will allow consumers to grow their own herbs and lettuce easily by simply maintaining the water level of the plants.

The system provides everything needed to maintain a year round crop of vegetables. It couldn't be simpler to use. Soak a batch of starter pods in water and place into the designated container with the desired seeds on the top of the pods. As the seeds germinate and start to grow, they are replanted into larger container where they will grow under a special artificial light. Other than replanting, the only maintenance required is the water level.

A spokesperson for Leeds Hydro Store said "It's terrific to see that hydroponics is being adopted by some very large companies as an incredible and efficient means of food production. The benefits are numerous and this shows that you can literally grow anywhere with hydroponics."
