After a great response to the call for Expressions of Interest, we are excited to announce the Hubs who will be delivering the Every Bite food waste prevention programme in year 2.

Slow and steady is the way to go - Wānaka local Rebecca Kirby-Crowe shares her experience with the Every Bite programme, and how aiming for perfection was getting in the way of real change.

Food fanatic Rajni got involved with Every Bite to reduce the number of times she was going to the supermarket. Find out how she ended up connecting with her family through the programme too.

Single mum Niluka’s food habits have changed since taking part in Every Bite, saving her money and helping her get the most out of her meals.

We are now looking for a number of new Hub partners to work with us in years two and three, to deliver the programme to their communities. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an initiative that is making a real difference when it comes to preventing food waste in Aotearoa.

“Knowing that other people are working on reducing their food waste is great. It feels like you are not just alone doing that, but you are supporting a movement. It’s inspiring for people who are already doing a pretty good job.”

Every Bite’s second round of programmes are complete, with communities from Kirikiriroa (Hamilton), Napier, Hastings, Palmerston North and Wānaka taking part.

From lunchbox leftovers to the lost courgette at the bottom of the fridge: everyone has a wicked little food waste secret. Now there’s a new programme to help, writes Gina Dempster.

With fridges rearranged and fading vegetables transformed, the first set of participants completed their journey through the Every Bite programme in February.
