Launched on Thursday 21 October 2021, the Australian Food Pact is a global and ambitious initiative that brings together many businesses.
Following the launch of the pact, many websites and media outlets reported on the news. Food & Drink Business, Mirage. News, The Australian, Food & Beverage, Pittwater Online News, The National Tribune, Retail World et FoodProcessing each devoted an article to the initiative.
The Australian Food Pact is an ambitious voluntary agreement that brings together a broad range of organisations in a new pre-competitive collaboration to make our food system more sustainable, resilient, and circular.
At its heart is a multi-year commitment to identify priorities, develop solutions and implement change at scale – in signatories, across their value chains via new partnerships and collaborations, and by spreading good practice across Australia. Voluntary agreements are a proven way of tackling food waste, focusing on prevention, reuse (donation), and food chain transformation and innovation.
