lpv:translated text	"Approximately 925 million people around the world are currently at risk of undernourishment. In the EU, 79 million people live below the poverty line, and of these, 16 million survive through food aid from charitable institutions. If we consider that the reduction of food wastage is an important step towards combating hunger in the world and improving people’s nutritional levels, it is unacceptable that almost 50% of perfectly healthy and edible food is lost every year throughout the food supply chain in Europe. There is a need to counter the growing trend of global food waste by adopting additional preventive measures, general guidelines and strategies aimed at improving the efficiency and sustainability of the food supply chain. This will contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, in particular, with regard to halving poverty and hunger by 2015. Finally, food waste and the production of surplus food as a result also constitutes an environmental and ethical problem, with economic and social costs and implications for the internal market, for both businesses and consumers."@en1
