New national research centre to fight food waste
Waite campus will be home to a new multimillion dollar national research centre to help fight the $20 billion cost of Australia’s food waste.
Announced by the Australian Government today, the $133 million Fight Food Waste Cooperative Research Centre will undertake research to reduce and transform food waste to improve industry profitability, tackle food insecurity, and enhance Australia’s reputation as a sustainable producer of premium food products.
The bid was led by a committee of industry participants with coordination by the Department of Industries and Regions South Australia (PIRSA).
