This afternoon I had the pleasure of joining a round table discussion in Parliament.  I journeyed through the ornate chambers of Parliament lined with figures of former leaders and stained glass splendour.

Food waste was the topic.  The Fabian Society launched their report to debate our collective responsibility on food waste.

Supermarkets must be the most visible offenders.  The tale of bread crust waste in factories emerged, such that your store bought sandwhich reflects the buying into of a staggering 17% of bread loaf wastage.

How about the vast individual household food waste?  This stands at a third of all food, but reduces to a fifth if the discarded teabags are omitted from the analysis.

Internationally, 30% of food is wasted.  And we need to feed 1 billion more people in the next decade, well by 2025.

We certainly need a sustainable and resilient food system.

There was agreement for a long term strategy.  A collective approach with consideration to the many stakeholders.  A strategy that embraces all facets of the wider food agenda – waste, sustainability, environment, nutrition and health.

Wholefood Harmony stands for all these values in the larger food landscape and I am most excited to be a part of this progressive food activity.
