Te Hui Taumata Moumou Kai o Aotearoa
New Zealand Food Waste Summit
Collaborating for a sustainable future
23 October, 2024 – 10am-3pm
Online
WasteMINZ and NZ Food Waste Champions 12.3 will host the 3rd Te Hui Taumata Moumou Kai o Aotearoa – New Zealand Food Waste Summit online.
Globally, an estimated 40% of food does not make it from the paddock and packhouse to the plate, and food waste is responsible for 6-8% of global carbon emissions. We need to accelerate the work being done to reduce food waste. At the same time, even though Aotearoa produces enough calories to feed 20 million people, one in five tamariki live in households that experience moderate to severe food insecurity.
The Food Waste Summit will explore the collaboration required to support Aotearoa’s moves to reduce our food waste and delve into the data behind the Prime Minister’s Chief Science Advisor’s latest food waste report.
The summit seeks to support participants understanding of their place in the system, what information they need to support their decision-making and how we build the collaboration required within our communities and across Aotearoa.
