Love Food, Hate waste program

Food waste is a complex social, economic and environmental problem that is having an increasingly negative impact on our world. As food lovers, we can enjoy the taste of our food and the social side of eating together. We can also buy, cook and save our food better, reducing our environmental impact and saving us time and money.

Love Food Hate Waste aims to raise awareness about the impact of food waste in NSW and reduce how much ‘good’ food we waste. Love Food Hate Waste is managed by the The Office of Enviroment and Heritage NSW  partnering with corporate, government and not-for-profit organisations committed to reducing food waste in NSW.
