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)
