On 28 November 2016, the European Commission published a fact sheet about food waste and how it can be reduced. Around 88 million tonnes of food are wasted annually in the EU – around 20% of all food produced, with associated costs estimated at 143 billion euros. The European Commission is looking for every opportunity to prevent food waste and strengthen sustainability of the food system. |
