Good For The Hood

Food waste and food insecurity remain an epidemic we have to face. As more and more councils embrace FOGO across the country, the food waste avoidance conversation becomes even more critical. 🥗 We had a lot of fun working with Blacktown City Council's waste team to bring you this video. Sometimes the simple things need to be made explicit like getting the best out of our most essential appliance, the fridge. ❄️ #fogo #foodwaste #wasteeducation #foodwasteeducation
