Love Food, Hate Waste

Love Food, Hate Waste (presentation)

Did you know the average Australian household throws away around $2,500 worth of food each year? And up to 40% of the general waste bin is food — most of it avoidable.

This hands-on, practical workshop helps participants:

• Identify the most common causes of household food waste

• Learn smarter storage techniques, meal planning hacks, and leftover reuse ideas

• Understand the environmental and financial impact of wasted food

• Walk away with real-life recipes, tips, and a simple food waste tracker for home use

Led by Shark — a self-confessed leftover masterchef and food waste ninja — this session features live examples from her own kitchen, plus stories from past projects like rescuing 220kg of

surplus donuts and transforming them into a craft beer.
