Who doesn't love food? NSW households send an average of 800,000 tonnes of food a year to landfill. When food waste breaks down in landfill it produces methane - a potent greenhouse gas. Wasted food also means wasted resources. The water, energy, materials and fuel used to harvest, transport, process, package, distribute and market wasted food is also wasted.
