An EU-funded project has used its final project meeting in Brussels to showcase its final results and inform policymakers on how significantly reducing food waste can lead to a more resource-efficient Europe.
The FUSIONS project, due to finish in July 2016, was initiated with the aim to significantly reduce food waste in Europe throughout the entire supply chain. Food waste has been singled out as a major policy issue to address, particularly due to the EU’s ambitious environmental targets and commitment to the development of a truly circular economy. The FUSIONS project team has estimated that current food waste levels for the EU28 amount to approximately 88 million tonnes per year, which is the equivalent of 20 % of all food produced in the EU.
