Why this petition matters

Started by RHIANNON COPAS

Every year, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, we waste globally, 2.9 trillion pounds a year of food. This amount of waste could help feed every person on earth more than twice over. Supermarket giants such as Coles and Woolworths place drastic cosmetic standards on food resulting in around 50% of all produce being wasted just because a banana is to curvy or spotty for consumers. If supermarkets abolished unnecessary restrictions, young children and families Would no longer go hungry or suffer from famine.

We have created this petition to convince supermarkets to ease up on their restrictions, so we can feed the world.
