No more food to waste
Roughly one-third of food produced for human consumption is not eaten. That amounts to 88 million tonnes of food wasted in the EU, estimated to cost 143 billion euros, every year. Food is lost or wasted throughout the supply chain, however, more than half happens at home!
Food waste is not only an ethical and economic issue but it also depletes the environment of limited natural resources. We can reduce the amount of food wasted, and save money and natural resources, by changing the way we shop, cook, plan meals and store food.
Let’s reduce food waste
Unless we find better solutions, food waste will continue to rise with population growth, demand for food, and increasing affluence. A “waste no food” attitude will make a difference to our purses, and more importantly, to the environment and global economy. We all need to step up the game, every single contribution counts.
Reducing food waste – yes we can! (Q&A)
Being a better cook is more than mastering recipes. It’s also getting the most from your food, wasting little and repurposing leftovers in creative, even ingenious ways. Here are some simple practices that help.
Food loss and waste reduction initiatives
The magnitude and complexity of the problem of food waste requires collaboration of actors and organisations involved. EUFIC is committed to increase awareness, and provide accessible, appealing and actionable information to help reduce food waste.
SAVE FOOD:
SAVE FOOD is a global network that brings together members to share ideas and generate solutions, across the entire food chain.

RefuCoat:
RefuCoat is a European project that will develop fully-recyclable bio-based food packages in order to reduce landfill waste while extending the shelf life of foods.

NanoPack:
The NanoPack project is developing active antimicrobial packaging to extend food shelf life. This could prevent food-borne illness outbreaks and reduce food waste caused by early spoilage.

Should we cut the carbs and opt for fats?
Headlines have emerged suggesting low-fat diets could increase our risk of early death by almost 1/4. But are these results relevant to the general European population? Carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy and should be consumed in moderation as part of a healthy and balanced diet.
