Every year, millions of tons of food are wasted in Australia alone. This not only contributes to environmental problems but also means that many people go hungry. OzHarvest is a non-profit organisation that collects excess food from supermarkets, restaurants, and other sources and distributes it to those in need. By signing this petition, you can help support OzHarvest's mission to end food waste and hunger in Australia. Let's work together to make sure that everyone has access to the food they need.

Let's fight food waste!

By signing this petition you are standing with us and countless others who are fed up with seeing food waste going to landfill and want Environment Minister Tanya Pilbersek and the federal government to step up and do more!

By signing this petition, you're joining us and countless others who want the Government to take action against food waste. Here are some key changes we'll be recommending which could drastically cut the amount of food waste ending up in landfill:

  • Shake up the food labelling system and end consumer confusion over best before and use by dates
  • Ensure that businesses are signing up to measure and reduce their food waste
  • Encourage farmers to donate more surplus food by introducing a National Food Waste Tax Incentive
  • Stop food from going to landfill by speeding up the roll out of FOGO (Food organics and garden organics) collection services for households and invest more in organic waste processing infrastructure.
  • Invalid phone number
