In NSW alone, more than $10 billion worth of edible food is thrown away each year. So for the average household, they are throwing away roughly $73 a week or $3,805 over a year on wasted food. Marium Khan of Ethnic Communities Council of NSW says that People don’t intentionally waste food, but it happens all the time when we don’t recognize our behaviours. Often, people buy more food than is needed, cook portions that are too big to finish, store food incorrectly in the kitchen, or throw away leftovers because they’ve been forgotten about them.
