The Newest Data on Food Waste in New Zealand

Data of food waste statement in New Zealand Types of Food: The main types of food involved in waste and their proportions. Amount of Waste: The quantity of waste for different types of food, including total and categorized data. Sources of Waste: Data on food waste originating from households, individuals, supermarkets, and other sources. Regional Distribution: The situation of food waste in different regions. Time Series Data: Trends and changes in food waste over recent years. Additional Parameters: Any extra information that could help in a deeper analysis of food waste patterns. We believe that this data is crucial for our research, as it will not only help us better understand the current state of food waste in New Zealand but also support the formulation of effective strategies to reduce food waste.

We are student in the IT and DATA research program at the University of Auckland. I am currently engaged in an Internship project focusing on green environmental studies. Our research team is dedicated to exploring and addressing the issue of food waste to promote sustainable environmental development.

Our challenges and objectives: Addressing food affordbility in light of rising vegetable and diary production costs, to analyse the potential and existing waste data by modeling the data and forecast the future situation by appropriate algorithmn.

We use data science and appropriate algorithms to model the trend of food waste and nutrition among all New Zealand family.
Analyze data, generate insights, and shape future business plans.

AgResearch Limited

Different agency responsible

After checking with our science staff, we don't believe AgResearch holds data of the type requested. We have made contact with the University of Otago, which has a Food Waste Innovation team that conducts research in this area. The team has its own website at https://foodwaste-otago.org. They have a wide range of publicly available data and publications on their website, through the Resource Centre tab, which we would recommend as a first place to check to ascertain what data is within the scope of what is being sought. The website also has a 'Contact Us' function, should you wish to get in contact with the Food Waste Innovation team.
