🌍💔 Every day, a staggering amount of food ends up in the bin instead of feeding the hungry. This isn't just about wasted resources; it's a deep injustice in a world where millions go to bed hungry. Let's talk solutions, not waste.
🚨 Fact: Over 1 billion meals are wasted daily, costing $1tn a year. Yet, 730 million people face hunger. This isn't just a food issue; it's a climate crisis, with waste generating 10% of global GHGs. We must act! #UNReport
Hear me talk about how to #fightfoodwaste by buying and selling wonky fruit and vegetables on The Guardian's Full Story podcast. This is part of my work with the Fight Food Waste CRC. So exciting to appear on a podcast that I listen to every day! https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/audio/2023/aug/01/full-story-podcast-ugly-food?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
Here's yours truly on ABC Radio National (Australia), talking about how we all have a role to play in fighting food waste. We, consumers, can't do it all on our own, though. We need more appropriate food portion sizes at supermarkets and better food labelling to know whether our food is fresh enough to eat and how to prolong its life through better storage.
Please check out our latest journal article to come from the Fight Food Waste CRC Consumer Perceptions of the Role of Packaging in reducing Food Waste project.
