Every day, substantial amounts of completely edible food are thrown away in households across Australia. While this may look like a small problem at home, food waste has major environmental, economic, and social consequences. When food is wasted, the water, energy, land, and labor used to yield it are also wasted (Gustavsson et al., 2011, p. 5). In addition, food waste in landfills creates methane, a potent greenhouse gas that causes climate change (Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water [DCCEEW], 2023, p. 7). Sustainable Development Goal 12 emphasises the need for sensible consumption and production, including reducing food waste universally (United Nations, 2015, p. 21). This project aims to address household food waste in Australia and investigate practical ways families can minimise waste through awareness, better planning, and ecological food practices.
