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.
