Overview:
Food waste is a global issue; 30 to 40% of all food is wasted. Despite a growing body of research, information on food waste in the tertiary education sector is lacking. This paper investigated food waste initiatives at 13 tertiary institutes in Aotearoa and identified challenges to further initiate implementation. It is recommended that tertiary institutes in Aotearoa adopt the “Target, Measure, Act” approach to tackle food waste by setting formal goals, regularly measuring food waste, and acting by implementing a wide variety of initiatives.
