Two of the End Food Waste Australia PhD candidates were also on hand, Trang Thi Thu Nguyen and Jack Hetherington, to speak about their pathways into the industry and what their projects.
These included a look into the circular economy of dairy companies and the use of green waste bins within SA.
The night also served as the launch for the 2024 Student Compendium - the fourth edition of this resource, which is produced as a collaboration between the AIA and the Adelaide University Agricultural Students Association.
