Study on food redistribution in the EU

Mapping and analysis of existing regulatory and policy measures impacting food redistribution from EU Member States.

Food waste is an issue of importance for global food security and good environmental governance. The primary focus of food waste prevention should be to act at the source by limiting the generation of surplus food at each stage of the food supply chain. However, when food surpluses occur, the best option is to redistribute these for human consumption.

The European Commission launched a report that gives an overview and analysis of the regulatory and policy measures impacting food redistribution in the EU Member States. Download the report here.
