The Morrison Government has unveiled a new $4 million body with the sole focus of reducing the nation’s food waste – a crucial step in its mission to halve the millions of tonnes of food that ends up in landfill every year – by 2030.
Minister for the Environment Sussan Ley said the newly formed Stop Food Waste Australia, will bring together the brightest minds in supply chain management, food waste NGOs and all tiers of government to tackle the problem.
“Australians have focused on recycling for years, but very few of us think about the amount of food that we waste every week,” Minister Ley said.
