You can’t solve what you can’t see

New Zealand is missing vital information on where and how food waste is being addressed by businesses.

The NZ Business Food Waste Survey canvassed over 70 leading medium and large food businesses about key perceptions and practices around food waste, collecting over 3000 insights. The findings provide a much-needed evidence base to guide business action and government policy.

The NZ Business Food Waste Survey asked New Zealand food businesses key questions about:

1

What do you think?

How businesses view and prioritise food waste in their strategies, operations and supply chains?

2

What are you doing?

What practices are companies using to prevent or reduce food waste?

3

What’s stopping progress?

What barriers or enablers impact company action on food waste?

The goal

Benchmark New Zealand against global best-practice and create the foundation for targeted action, better policies and measurable progress
