Valuing our food waste

Valuing our Food Waste: South Australia’s strategy to reduce and divert household and business food waste integrates policy measures, behavioural change actions and support for industry to address household and business-generated food waste and contribute to national and global targets. Themes within this Strategy, led by Green Industries SA, complement existing policy measures, including developing a circular economy, eliminating single-use plastics, working within the waste management hierarchy, and supporting the South Australian resource recovery industry. 

Taking action to support a reduction in the amount of food wasted and established resource recovery systems improves the resilience of community and industry sectors to maintain continuity in times of disruption.
