Wao is excited to highlight Every Bite – Wānaka, a Wastebusters event designed to help households reduce food waste, become more food-resourceful, and celebrate kai more sustainably.

Running over four weeks, the programme combines inspiring in-person sessions with practical at-home tips, tasty recipes, and supportive community kōrero that make cutting food waste both fun and achievable.

The launch session at The Wānaka Community Hub features a delicious dinner and expert insights on reducing spoilage and making every ingredient count, while the wrap-up brings everyone together to share stories, celebrate wins, and reinforce good habits that save food and money. Every Bite is part of a nationwide effort to reduce food waste and promote smarter, kinder use of the food we produce and enjoy.

For those in Wānaka, a similar event runs on 30 April.
