Saving our Food 2022

We all love food, but the ways we grow, make, sell and consume it causes a scandalous amount of waste.

The land footprint used to grow this wasted food every year occupies an area the size of Canada and India combined. Food waste also uses vast quantities of water and is linked to 8-11% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

In response, the UN has called for food waste to be halved by 2030, and as a country that makes a lot of food - we export about 70% of our agricultural output - Australia has a considerable role to play. Australia started its response to this challenge with the release of the National Food Waste Strategy in 2017.

Join pioneering global expert on wasted food, Dr Christian Reynolds, in conversation with UNSW's Chris McElwain, as they explain why we waste so much food and discuss the twin challenges of saving more food and safely managing the food we cannot avoid wasting.
