File photo taken on July 8, 2016 shows OzHarvest staff Alex Hemmer (R) and Dennys Vergara (C), a case manager at Foundation House in inner Sydney, picking up foods, in Sydney, Australia. OzHarvest acts as an intermediary, picking up and delivering donated excess food from over 2,000 cafes, bakeries and supermarkets to more than 800 charities across Australia that help the nation's most needy. Australians themselves throw out up to 10 billion Australian dollars (7.49 billion U.S. dollars) worth of produce annually, but the country's disadvantaged still go hungry. OzHarvest and their 29 bumblebee yellow vans across Australia are on a mission with the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) to combat food waste as hunger is still the most urgent developmental challenges facing the globe.
