Food waste: The UK versus France
Some eight million people in the UK struggle to afford a meal and are living in food poverty. At the same time, some experts predict the UK wastes 10 million tonnes of food every year. Research suggests that the UK retail sector could donate 110,000 tonnes of food to people in need. In France, it is now against the law for supermarkets above a certain size to throw away unused food. Instead, they must donate their excess edible food to a non-profit, charity, or food bank. The law also mandates that school children are taught about food sustainability, agriculture, and cooking. Now, France is at the top of the global food sustainability index.
