Stop Food Waste Australia Welcomes AFAB as a Supporting Signatory
AFAB pledges to help halve food waste by 2030
The Australian Food Advocacy Body (AFAB) has joined leading industry players, including AFAB members Tip Top Bakeries, Mars Australia, Simplot Australia and Goodman Fielder, in becoming a signatory to the Australian Food Pact, a voluntary agreement program to help tackle Australia’s annual $36.6 billion food waste challenge.
“Reducing food waste is one of the four industry-improving projects being resourced by AFAB members, so we are proud to sign up to the Australian Food Pact,” says AFAB CEO Tony Green.
Green adds there has never been a more important time for the industry as a whole to focus on reducing food waste.
“Every year 7.6 million tonnes of Australia’s total food is wasted, this includes foodservice, household and food that reaches the table, costing the economy $36.6 billion,” he says.
“Stop Food Waste Australia welcomes the Australian Foodservice Advocacy Body as a supporting signatory to the Australian Food Pact and thanks them for committing time and resources to support the bold and important goal of halving Australia’s food waste by 2030,” says Mark Barthel, SFWA Chief Operating Officer.
