The number of Australians experiencing food insecurity increased to 28% in 2020 due to COVID-19 and were mainly younger people. Fruit and vegetables that do not meet specifications required by retailers are mostly thrown away, some of which are of high enough quality to feed vulnerable Australians. Thus to stop food waste methods had to be adopted. The wastage is also hurting those Australian farmers who have spent time and resources to produce crops. This is why strategic ways to avoid food waste in Australia are so important for sustaining life. Moreover, this will help the nation cope with upcoming food shortages in years.
