As founder of The Lost Food Project (TLFP), I was thrilled to hear about the latest announcement by Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Saifuddin Ismail to implement a “zero waste” policy. This will help bring “surplus” food that usually ends up in landfills to benefit the poorest in our society.
