Food waste is a global crisis. Australians discard about 3.1 million tonnes of edible food a year. Researchers in South Australia are combatting this through sustainability initiatives, opening a $132 million Fight Food Waste Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) to reduce food waste.

Australian food rescue charity OzHarvest has launched an orange juice vending machine that makes use of 'imperfectly' shaped oranges. The charity is reacting to farming wastage in Australia, and caters to people's desire for food makers to act more sustainably across their supply chain.
