"According to several studies, food waste around the world has risen by 50% since 1974. The production of surplus food that we do not consume has a high environmental cost, deriving from the use of energy and natural resources, as well as from gas emissions into the atmosphere. The aim of this vote is to combat such a trend by reiterating the importance of spreading an anti-waste culture across the Member States, which must become one of the priorities on the European agenda. Citizens need to be informed not only of the causes and effects of waste, but also of ways to reduce it. A scientific and civic culture guided by the principles of sustainability and solidarity must be fostered so as to encourage better behaviour, particularly by supporting spontaneous initiatives taken by associations that publicise an anti-waste culture."@en1
