## Resource

Melbournes Queen Victoria Market launches initiative to combat food waste by donating unsold produce to those in need. Collaborating with local charities, the market aims to redirect edible food from landfills to people facing food insecurity. Vendors express relief at avoiding waste and supporting those in need. The program, currently small-scale, plans to expand and inspire other markets to adopt similar waste-reduction and food-donation models.
