FAQs
What is the food waste challenge?
The Food Waste Challenge is a free, seven-day household program designed to help Australians reduce food waste at home. Developed as part of The Great Unwaste campaign, it guides participants through simple daily actions that improve meal planning, food storage and leftover use.
How does a food waste challenge work?
The challenge delivers one practical action each day for seven days. These actions focus on common household habits such as flexible meal planning, proper food storage, portion awareness and using leftovers. The step-by-step format makes it easy to build lasting food waste reduction habits.
How do food waste challenges benefit the environment?
Household food waste contributes to landfill emissions and wasted natural resources. By reducing the amount of food thrown away, participants help lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduce unnecessary use of water, energy and land. Collective action across households supports Australia’s goal to halve food waste by 2030.
What outcomes can I expect from a food waste challenge?
Participants can expect to feel more confident managing food at home, waste less each week and save money on groceries. Research shows that small, consistent behaviour changes can significantly reduce household food waste over time.
