Expressions of interest sought for national food waste reduction programmes
We’re calling for expressions of interest from organisations interested in developing and delivering national programmes to reduce food waste.
Find out more about the programmes and how to make an expression of interest
This is an opportunity for organisations to express interest in working with us to reduce the amount of food that is lost between farm and fork each year.
Reducing organic waste is a key action in Aotearoa New Zealand’s first emissions reduction plan.
What we’re looking for
We are seeking organisations to design, develop and deliver behaviour change programmes that reduce food waste. These may be existing or new programmes.
The programmes will aim to reduce food waste in three settings: households; Māori-led settings (such as marae, kōhango reo, kura kaupapa, papakāinga); and businesses.
The call for expressions of interest opened on 14 November and closed at midnight on 4 December.
