The broad objective of this project was to quantify the waste produced by the Australian vegetable industry, with a focus on waste at the farm level. The project then reviewed alternative uses for vegetable waste and presented uses with potential for adoption by growers or processors.

This project has been funded by Hort Innovation, using the research and development levies listed below and contributions from the Australian Government. Hort Innovation is the grower-owned, not-for-profit research and development corporation for Australian horticulture.
