lpv:translated text	"The world population is growing, resources are limited, and the poorest groups have inadequate access to food. On the other hand, perfectly usable food is being discarded all over the world: from losses during harvesting or storage, via transportation under conditions that are not particularly safe and errors during packaging, to the bad habits of consumers in the purchase and use of food products. In the last 40 years, global food waste has increased by 50%. The production of food that we do not eat results in high costs from energy and natural resources, especially water, and greenhouse gas emissions. The approximately 89 million tonnes of food thrown away in Europe produces 170 million tonnes of CO per year. Apart from the environmental damage caused by food production, the costs of processing and disposing of the waste should be taken into account. Combating food waste must become a priority on Europe’s policy agenda. The Commission, Council and Member States must adopt specific measures aimed at halving the wastage of food by 2025. We must inform citizens not only of the causes and effects of waste, but also about ways of reducing it."@en1
