What is the definition of an ugly, imperfect pear? Why does 30% of Australian grown fresh produce never leave the farm? Why is nobody using this imperfect produce?
These are just some of the questions I kept asking myself.
Hello, my name is Michelle and I’m the founder of Ugly Duck Fine Foods - a passion driven food manufacturer on a mission to fight food waste.
We exist to rescue ugly, unloved Australian grown fruit and vegetable and turning them into outstanding deliciousness.
In 2017, 795,000 tonnes of fruit produced in Australia was rejected at farm level. Globally, almost half of all fruit and vegetables produced are wasted. Approximately 8% of greenhouse gases heating the planet are caused by food waste – in Australia alone, over 5 million tonnes of food ends up as landfill every year.
