The New Zealand government has announced $1.7 million in funding for three projects aimed at reducing food waste across households, food production, hospitality, and other businesses over the next three years. These initiatives, including programs led by WasteMINZ, NZ Food Waste Champions 12.3 Trust, and the Restaurant Association of New Zealand, focus on measuring, managing, and minimizing food waste to support emissions reduction and landfill diversion. This investment aligns with national priorities to tackle the estimated 1.2 million tonnes of food wasted annually, helping to expand the impact of successful waste reduction campaigns and practices.
