Partnership with End Food Waste Australia
In 2020, the Queensland Government partnered with End Food Waste Australia (formerly known as Fight Food Waste Australia) together with other Australian jurisdictions, industry and academia to reduce food waste, starting with the Australian Government’s national target to halve food waste by 2030.
Since joining the Cooperative Research Centre (CRC), the Queensland Government has supported the following projects with a combined total of $1,035,000 (GST excl.) in funding.
