Why Reducing Potato Waste Matters in Aotearoa

Potatoes are a staple in Kiwi households, yet they're among the most wasted foods in Aotearoa New Zealand. This versatile vegetable can be stored, prepared, and served in countless ways, making it an excellent focus for food waste reduction efforts.

Food waste has significant environmental and economic impacts on our communities. When we throw away food, we're not just wasting the food itself, but also the resources used to grow, harvest, transport, and store it. By learning to make the most of common ingredients like potatoes, households can:

• Reduce their environmental footprint
• Save money on grocery bills
• Support sustainable food practices
• Contribute to a more sustainable Aotearoa

Events like this workshop are crucial in helping Kiwis develop practical skills for reducing food waste while maintaining the quality and enjoyment of their meals. The Love Food Hate Waste initiative continues to educate and inspire communities across New Zealand to make positive changes in their food consumption habits.
