Australia’s agriculture, fisheries and forestry sector is making inroads to reduce its waste footprint and align with Australia’s National Waste Policy. Investment in a range of projects as part of AgriFutures Australia’s Pre-Farm Gate Waste Program has delivered insight to inform strategies and investment across rural industries, and set a baseline for future data collection to support waste management activities.
To date, data on locations of waste, estimated volume of waste generated and available pathways for disposal has been limited. The baseline data outlined in this report is the outcome from the first data collection project of its type focused on pre-farm gate organic, workshop and plastic waste.
