Lapidge to lead Fight Food Waste CRC

Dr Steven Lapidge has been appointed the inaugural CEO of the Fight Food Waste Cooperative Research Centre (FFW CRC).

The Fight Food Waste CRC will be a 10-year, $133 million CRC involving 60 participants from across Australia and overseas. It aims to improve the future profitability and sustainability of the Australian food industry through reducing food waste throughout the value chain, transforming unavoidable waste into innovative high-value products, and engaging with industry and consumers to deliver behavioural change.

The FFW CRC will align with the National Food Waste Strategy, whose aim is to reduce Australia’s annual $20 billion food waste bill by 50% by 2030.
