What people are saying about the series

“Nationally, there are approximately 7.6 million tonnes of food wasted every year at a cost of $36.6 billion to the economy. Australia’s food can be better managed to reduce waste and loss from packing sheds at the agricultural sector level, to processing and foodservice in commercial kitchens. There needs to be a whole-of-supply-chain view to better understand why so much food is being wasted and lost and what the potential solutions are. Imagine, just for a moment, if we could halve this waste and turn millions of tonnes of waste into value added products for Australia. This is the focus of this webinar series, helping small businesses to save money, create new products and respond to consumer demands that we think differently and become more responsible for reducing food waste & loss.”
