Background information
The Joint Research Centre, in collaboration with the Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety set up the European Consumer Food Waste Forum as a network of international practitioners and researchers who identified a variety of evidence-based, practical solutions to reduce food waste at the consumer level, including household and food services. The result of their work was published as a Compendium of tools, best practices, and recommendations to help all key players engaging in actions to prevent food waste, as well as in informative leaflets in all EU languages with recommendations for policymakers, food businesses and schools.
