Globally, one-third of all food is lost or wasted. This waste has a profound environmental impact and is the third-largest contributor to global carbon emissions.
To help shift the dial on this issue, Love Food Hate Waste was established in 2007 by the global climate action charity WRAP.
Lead by WasteMINZ, New Zealand joined the network in 2016 and through partnerships with 52 councils and community groups around the country we’ve been working hard to help Kiwis reduce their household food waste through education, awareness and behavior change interventions.
We work with food businesses, supermarkets, and food rescue organisations to reduce the amount of good food going into the bin from Kiwi Households. Always underpinned by research, we work with strategic partners to build and deliver insightful campaigns, taking our message directly to the public in practical, achievable ways.
