Love food hate waste
The opportunities of food waste from global to local
Food waste generates 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions and costs Australia $36 billion a year. In landfill it generates emissions and yet is a valuable resource that can be used to generate energy, improve soil health or feed chickens. Amanda will outline the challenges for NSW as it shifts to separating food waste and the steps being taken to get there.
