The next stage would be worm farms and soil production. What a great story. Well done to everyone creating these systems. Will anyone employ me to be part of this? Seriously job searching and wanting meaningful work.
You can absolutely make your chalots/green onions last for over a WEEK just by putting them in a small cup with water, just enough to cover the roots. Top it up once a day, just to cover the roots !! It will last for a week or more. A few of the leaves/sprouts may wilt and brown BUT, you peel them off and you'll see new, fresh green sprouts growing underneath !! I've completely regrown entire green onions this way over the summer. I do this with celery, cauliflower, broccoli or ANY produce I buy that has roots attached or has been cut from the main plant. I even regrew an entire celery plant from doing this with just the base and the "heart" (the little green bits in the middle) remaining. Same with WHOLE onions; cut 1/4 inch off bottom (the roots) and you normally toss that out, put it in a shallow dish with just a bit of water; it starts to grown onion shoots which you can clip and use in whatever you normally use green onions for !
We may be teaching a generation that good food does not have to be perfect. This will lead to a generation looking for good food not perfect over refrigerated supermarket food. Well done. Your work will be felt for generations to come
I don’t like Farmers Pick savings of 20% but of expensive supermarket prices.. The grower needs to make it to specific for supermarket otherwise they sell to markets And cheaper fruit shop buys and offer cheaper prices than the supermarkets. I do agree not to waste food!😊
Even with food charities, the charities themselves don't rescue everything. We need more composting, and less middle men. Share "waste" direct to public
It would be great if some of these services delivered further afield. We used to live in Brisbane and could get Funky Foods. Now we live in Gympie, we can't get anything except lacklustre produce at a premium price.
Pack into smaller size according to high demand volume statistics for small family. Depends on majority household size. Otherwise. Sells more economically to encourage consumers to purchase in bulk. Spend some time to study the market demand. Pack defective items aside with cheaper price.
Parks and Gardens and Botanical Gardens should have Community Gardens, Public Showers in Gardens so People can Have a Shower, Wash Clothes, Brush Teeth, Wash Dishes while Plants are getting Watered, Caravan Parks, Camp Sites, Housing Commission should be set up like that also, use 1 Tap for everything, have hoses, vertical ensuite tents, solar camping Showers, Canvas Shower Buckets, grow aloe vera, pumpkins, watermelons, rockmelons, honey dew melons, candy melons, corn, pineapples, onions, garlic, ginger, tumeric
Stop throwing perfect fruit and vegetables in the bin because is not perfect ! We don need any new organisation to pay huge money for doing what very one knows about ! Don’t sale. Half rotten stuff in big supermarket! Why the farmers markets don’t have the problem ?
Hmm.. Humanity, we are even picky with food, because of some aesthetics; isn't the taste, nutrients and satisfaction what you really really need? Dear Lord have mercy. Send me those so called 'imperfect ones' I'll turn them into Gold. Thank you WASTE WARRIORS!🙌🏽❤️
There is no such thing as food waste, food is easily biodegradable and renewable - the issue is the oil wasted fertilizing, harvesting and transporting food that consumers are unwilling to pay for - this is something that the very smart actuarials who work for coles and woolies have optimized. What if there was no oil being used? Food "waste" wouldn't matter at all would it?

An excellent reporting story! Thank you
Most of the food waste comes from the Super markets they waste more than any farm
Food waste is part of food it's what happens to it after that matters composting is the solution to not end up chemicals dependent farming

I buy from the local IGA, misshaped sweet potato and spuds, beetroot, pumpkin, carrots it all tastes the same
Good on these wonderful people!
Sensational effort by all 🎖️
It's so great to see!!

A great concept/show Prue

Great initiative well done!

There is and has been lots of lemons and lemon seeds in bins near fish and chip shops, lots of mango trees and coconut trees around
I love this message ❤
Great job!
respect to all.
Positive and interesting/informative.
As a dumpster diver, am I doing my share to reduce food waste?
100% the supermarkets should leave dumpster divers alone instead of harrassing them
Love it, BEAUTIFUL !!❤

Because we as Aussies tend to finish sentences with a question mark. It sounds awful. But that's the accent.

But no mention of all the plastic packaging
Good job...👏
Pumpkins !?! Those are squashes !! 😂

Don't start pack the products otherwise it's a waste of time. Packing waste produce then creates packaging waste.
I love the odd looking and blemished fruit and veggies. It looks like my home grown stuff.

Compost is the solution
Macro systems are inherently inefficient, and ultimately destructive.
food waste bins at homes for the animals for farms freeze the scraps and put in our bins service
Give it to food charities abs nit dumped in a landfill

I was excited to learn about this..until about 2 minutes in, when they start throwing around manipulative stats and climate change.
Black soldier flies farming is next
There could be another solution, the carnivore diet 🥓🍖🥩🍝🧆
