While food insecurity is being felt across the nation due to the rising cost of living, new research from Kellogg Australia has revealed we have a food waste problem, with almost half the country (47%) admitting to wasting food at least once a week.
With over 7.6 million tonnes of food wasted every year across our farms, factories and at our tables, the new research shows Australians perceive the younger generations as being more wasteful than their older counterparts as over a third (35%) of Australians believe Gen Z are the most wasteful generation.
The research was conducted by Pureprofile in August 2023, surveying 1,007 Australian respondents aged 18-65+ years, nationally representative.
