In this episode, Food & Drink Business editor Kim Berry is joined by Sam Oakden from End Food Waste Australia to discuss the latest global and local initiatives to reduce food waste.

Sam provides an update on what is happening in the US and EU and the differences in approach between them. The US has just launched a voluntary agreement model, while the EU is putting legislation in place to advance its efforts.

We talk about the success of the Australian Food Pact and how it works with members to achieve ambitious but realistic goals. This links into the importance of collaboration across industry and with competitors.

From there we talk about how End Food Waste Australia is the largest food waste research body in the world and one of the only research bodies that is attached to the agency delivering the interventions.

Before we wrap up, Sam explains what the sector action plans are and their importance in providing sector specific solutions based on research and data.
