🗑 Globally we throw away 1/3 of all food we produce.⁠

⁠🚛  6 garbage trucks of edible food are wasted every second.⁠

⁠🏋️‍♀️ 7.3 million tons/year of food is wasted in Australia.⁠

⁠💰 That is worth $AUD 20 billion ($USD 940 billion).⁠

⁠💁‍♀️ Annika Stott from OzHarvest is changing this. With expertise in food waste education and behavioural change, Annika is passionate about tackling the food waste issue from an environmental and social perspective. ⁠

⁠💬 “The trend that I have seen is that COVID has changed our relationship with food and particularly for the better. More Australians are purchasing more consciously and purposefully, and they are making what they’ve got go further.” ⁠

⁠🌏 OzHarvest rescues good food that would otherwise go to waste and redistributes it to people in need. In Australia, there are 5 million people who rely on food relief every single year. And since COVID, there has been a 47% increase in demand for food relief services. ⁠
