Over 7.6 million tonnes of food is wasted annually in Australia, with households being the largest contributor. Understanding what are the main causes of food waste in Australia is the first step towards creating a more sustainable and economically sound food system for everyone.

According to the Foodbank Hunger Report 2024, 3.4 million Australian households faced food insecurity in the previous year, highlighting that not all Australians have enough access to food. This statistic reveals a stark contrast to Australia's image as a land of plenty.
