"Wastage at the consumption stage amounts to 90 million tonnes annually, whilst around 16 million people in the EU are dependent on food aid. Today, more than a billion people are still suffering from hunger and, faced with this situation, it was high time that Parliament called on the Commission and the EU Member States to take practical steps at national level to halve food wastage by 2025. This is not just an economic, environmental and social imperative; it is also an ethical duty towards the most deprived members of society. Urgent strategic measures are required, by people becoming aware of waste in general. Awareness-raising campaigns, food education courses, improved, optimised packaging and ‘sell by’ labelling are all methods that would allow everyone to achieve respectable, tangible results."@en1
