What is the Australian Food Pact?
It is an ambitious voluntary agreement that brings together a broad range of organisations in a new pre-competitive collaboration to make our food system more sustainable, resilient, and circular.
At its heart is a multi-year commitment to identify priorities, develop solutions and implement change at scale – in signatories, across their value chains, via new partnerships and collaborations, and by spreading good practice across Australia.

What will you sign up for?
This commitment until 2030 is as much ours as it is yours. Our technical specialists will work with you and your value chain partners to identify opportunities to produce more sustainable products with less resource.
Four programs of work that drive sustainability, circularity, value creation and resilience:
1
Embed new criteria into design, buying and sourcing
2
Optimise the whole supply chain to produce more with less
3
Find innovative ways to make the best use of waste with surplus food
4
Influence consumer and business behaviours to reduce food waste
An essential part of halving Australia’s food waste is changing how we all value food in our households. Therefore, Australian Food Pact signatories will commit to working in partnership with governments and not for profits to help consumers to make the most of the food they buy.
