A recent Stuff article states that in the past year, food rescue groups nationwide have diverted more than 8.6 million kilograms of food from going to waste, instead getting them to families in need.
A survey by Aotearoa Food Rescue Alliance (AFRA), has shown a 90 per cent increase in demand on the year before, pre-Covid-19 – the equivalent of 24,776,731 meals.
Spokesperson for the Aotearoa Food Rescue Alliance (AFRA) & former Green Party M.P. Gareth Hughes joins us now on Pacific Days for more on the work of AFRA.
