Citizens’ Dialogue Food: how to stop wasting our wealth

Food: How to Stop Wasting our Wealth

The numbers are staggering – each year we throw away 88 million tonnes of food in Europe. It makes up 20 percent of the total food produced in the European Union. Food waste is unethical, while the damage to environment is gigantic.

The European Union aims by 2030 to at least halve the amount of food wasted. How to address this problem? What can each of us do daily to help reduce the waste of food?

Join the discussion and tell us what you think on this and other hot topics of the European Union with Mr Vytenis Andriukaitis, Member of the European Commission, and the representatives of the EU Platform on Food Losses and Food Waste, on 24 May, 4PM, at the European Commission Stand No 5C05.
