Food Waste | Rabobank New Zealand

Worldwide, around 40% of all food produced doesn’t make it to people’s plates. Food waste also contributes to green-house gas emissions, and it squanders the water, land and energy used to grow it.

Rabobank is on a mission to do something about food waste. Naturally, we have a deep interest in knowing the food produced by the New Zealand businesses we work with goes where it really belongs, on people‘s plates.

We’re getting involved in projects and initiatives to make a positive difference. We know our Rabobank Online Savers care about this issue, so we’ll keep you updated with news and ideas. Together we will tackle the problem of food waste.

Together we can reduce food waste

New Zealand’s farmers, producers and growers work hard, so that we can have food on our tables to enjoy and sustain us. They grow, raise, gather and harvest, and in New Zealand and across the world people can eat good, healthy, nutritious food.

Our farmers and producers are proud of their wonderful food. And, the last thing any of us want to see is any of it being wasted. But, that’s exactly what’s happening.

Some of the produce that gets to market is wasted because of use-by dates, mislabelling, damaged packaging, cancelled orders and other issues. Some doesn’t even get that far, like fruit and vegetables that are sometimes wasted because they have a few blemishes or look ugly (even though they still taste really good)

Rabobank works closely with our farmers, lending to them and offering essential financial services. As a Rabobank Online Savings customer, you’re part of it too, because 100% of your savings are used help grow New Zealand’s important agribusinesses.
