Resumen
Descripción
Possibly Australia’s greatest contribution to global food security is
through the production and export of safe, nutritious, sustainablyproduced
food, to meet the rising demand across Asia and beyond. We
need to promote, protect and extend Australia’s reputation as a high
quality, safe food supplier. Visy supports its food industry customers to
do well, which will fuel Australia’s capacity to feed 200 million people directly. We can
also help feed a further 800 million with the application of our skills, R&D and business
services. Supporting our food customers revitalises the food processing sector and
tackles food waste by protecting food from deteriorating, which could double the
effective calorie delivery from the current level of agricultural production. Reducing
food waste by better packaging that extends food shelf life also adds value to our
customers and hence to society. Applying business know-how, in collaborative
partnership with researchers and farming practitioners, is an important key to
achieving this goal.
