"I supported today’s resolution which calls for food wastage in the EU to be halved by 2025. A staggering 50% of edible food is wasted each year, even though 79 million EU citizens live beneath the poverty line. We need an effective EU-wide strategy to tackle the issue of food wastage. I believe that new awareness campaigns would help inform people on how best to avoid food wastage and to use food sustainably. Schools and colleges could explain the need for effective cooking, storing and disposal of foodstuffs, which could help reduce the amount currently being thrown away. I also echo calls to make labelling on food packages clearer, so that both ‘use by’ dates and ‘sell by’ dates are displayed – this would help consumers make a more informed decision when purchasing food. In addition, the use of local produce should be promoted in catering and hospitality and the redistribution of food to poorer people free of charge should be encouraged."@en1
