The $400,000 National Food Waste Strategy Feasibility Study was funded by the federal government’s Food and Agribusiness Growth Centre(FIAL) as a follow-up to FIAL’s Roadmap for Reducing Australia’s Food Waste by Half by 2030. The study looked at the nature, scale, causes and impacts of food loss and waste across Australia, identifying ‘hot spots’ for waste and environmental impacts as well as testing and costing scenarios. The study’s authors conclude that the government’s target to halve food waste nationally by 2030 is achievable, provided this effort is industry-led and backed by a ‘supportive policy framework’.
