lpv:translated text	"Given that resources are scarce, food wastage should be combated. It is estimated that since 1974, food waste has risen by 50%. At present, according to a recent study, Europeans and North Americans waste somewhere between 95 kg and 115 kg of food per capita per year, as opposed to between 6 kg and 11 kg in sub-Saharan Africa. Moreover, if we look at the different stages of the food supply chain, wastage in Western countries occurs predominantly at the distribution and consumption stages, whereas in developing countries, it is concentrated in the stages of production, management and storage, and processing. It is therefore necessary to adopt measures enabling us to address this phenomenon, not only by improving the objective conditions for reusing resources, but also by raising consumer awareness of this problem. I voted for this report as it is a step in this direction."@en1
