A new campaign is set to make a big difference in helping to reduce waste and provide more food security for our region.
North East Waste in collaboration with member councils across the region, Northern Rivers Food, Northern Rivers Area Health Service, NSW Environment Protection Authority and the Love Food Hate Waste Program, food donation agencies, local business and community have been working to address issues around food waste, nutrition, food security and sustainability.
This collaboration has led to the new regional food donation campaign, ‘It’s Food For Thought’ which aims to attract new food donors and support food donation agencies in feeding people, not landfill.

Subscriber only When he was a boy, Stephen Mills grandfather would always have a magical mystery stew on the boil. He cooked on wood-fired ovens, pots bubbling away, and had home-killed lamb, pork and chickens hanging in his chiller. Curiosity soon took over for the aspiring young chef. Mr Mills started his culinary career the old-school way â slogging it out washing dishes at fancy resorts on weekends and cooking up a storm in his Home Economics classes at school. When he was 16, he took up an apprenticeship in the Blue Mountains, and went on to work at various restaurants, hotels, clubs and resorts.
