New Zealand industry generates over 100,000 tonnes of food waste per year at the same time as many kiwi families are unable to afford and access good food.
Deborah Manning saw an obvious solution to both problems and set about founding food rescue organisation KiwiHarvest.
KiwiHarvest has grown from "one woman and her car" to a nationwide operation collecting and redistributing over 80,000kg of food a month to charities that give to those in need.
They've just opened a 650m2 hub in South Auckland that will allow them to accept bulk donations direct from growers and manufacturers.
