“An update on KiwiHarvest”
New Zealand industry generates more than 103,000 tonnes of food waste per year, and it is estimated that 60% of food going to landfill is edible. Burying food (and often its packaging) in landfill is an environmental disaster.
KiwiHarvest works with food businesses (including supermarkets, wholesalers, producers, cafes, restaurants, and hotels) to rescue the good food that they are not able to sell – whether that is because of oversupply, damaged packaging, cancelled orders, mislabelling, or because the food is nearing its best-before date or end of life.
Please note:
Breakfast meeting registrations close at 11 a.m. on the Monday. For a short time after this, it may be possible to request changes via President Byran.
Failure to register your attendance can cause problems for Northern Club catering.
