It's estimated New Zealand throws away $3.2 billion of food every year.
The Prime Minister's Chief Science Advisor, Dame Juliet Gerrard, has issued 27 recommendations to the Government.
It calls for a national plan and target, smarter monitoring, better strategies to tackle food loss at source, promoting food rescue and upcycling to ensure edible food isn’t thrown out.
KiwiHarvest is a food rescue business, taking food that is still perfectly usable so it doesn’t get thrown away and giving it to charities and institutions where it would be of use.
CEO Angela Calver told Kerre Woodham that the best way to stop wastage in your home is to meal plan and plan ahead.
She said that a lot of waste happens because of demand, supermarkets doing their best to ensure that if you buy a loaf of bread today, that loaf of bread will be on the shelf tomorrow as well.
Calver said that planning and not over-buying food will help further down the supply chain and reduce waste.
