COVID-19 and lockdown have changed attitudes towards food consumption and waste, according to recent research – a finding echoed by local community gardens groups who experienced a spike in participation and awareness during the first months of the pandemic.
The 2020 Food Waste Report released by Rabobank found that food waste went up 13 per cent during the lockdown.
Cooking at home more often was cited by 46 per cent of respondents as a reason they wasted more food.
Meanwhile, a survey of 3,000 Australians by financial advice provider She’s On The Money found that respondents were worried they were spending too much on food, with 60 per cent spending $150 or more per person a week on groceries and takeaway.
