OpenIDEO - How might we dramatically reduce waste by transforming our relationship with food?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Socially, 800 million people are undernourished globally, and in the U.S. one in seven people are food insecure. Environmentally, food loss and waste is a massive resource drain, using 21% of U.S. fresh water and generating about 8 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Creative Solutions to HMI get people in China to pay taxes?

# data[].attributes.body
China, with its largely cash economy, has a huge problem with tax evasion. Not just grand tax evasion, but the everyday “no receipt, please” kind, even though there have been harsh penalties: Before 2011, some forms of tax evasion were even punishable by death.

The country needed a different approach. So what did it do to get people to pay sales tax?

A. Hired a force of inspectors to raid restaurants and stores to catch people skipping the receipt, accompanied by big fines and prison terms

B. Started an “It’s a citizen’s duty to denounce” exhortation campaign.

C. Installed cameras to photograph every transaction.

D. Turned receipts into scratch-off lottery games.

It also gives tax breaks for giving away food and removes a number of bureaucratic hurdles that made businesses wary about violating health and safety laws by donating food marginally past its sell-by date.

"Our farmers are already doing this at the markets with the leftover produce, but with this new law, instead of just doing it in a friendly, informal way, it can be donated directly to soup kitchens or other charities," said Nicola De Ieso, spokesman for the farmers' association Coldiretti in Campania.

"It simplifies things for us. We can be even more efficient."

The law raises the amount that can be donated from €5,000 to €15,000 and will finance research into new products such as recyclable packaging that prevents spoilage in transit.

For the ordinary consumer, it will make it easier to request "family bags" (sometimes known as the "doggy bag" ) to take home unfinished food ordered at restaurants, a practice that was previously rare in Italy.

"More and more clients are asking us to take home the food they didn't eat," said Luigi Caccioppoli, who owns an agriturismo in the Sorrento region and is president of a Naples-area association of farmer's markets.

"This good habit is the result of a cultural shift among those with upper-middle incomes - they want to conserve food not only out of need, but out of respect. It's a new lifestyle that appreciates high-quality food."

This week's legislation, said Italy's Agriculture Minister Maurizio Martina, is "one of the most beautiful and concrete legacies of Milan's 2015 Expo," which had made curbing food waste and hunger worldwide one of its primary themes.

A Chinese restaurant offering an all-you-can-eat buffet is charging customers £20 in 'wastage' if they leave food on their plates.

Managers at the Kylin Buffet in Ocean Road, South Shields, have put up a notice urging diners to eat up all their food - or face the penalty charge.

The policy has outraged one mother who was told she had to pay the £20 after her and her son Sam, 10, and niece Toni, six, left two onion rings, a piece of prawn toast, and a spring roll on their plates.

Beverley Clark, 40, from Hebburn, South Tyneside, has accused the restaurant of poor customer service, but the the manager has stood by the policy.

Miss Clark said: 'After we had our starters, we went up for our main course. But a member of staff came over and asked if we weren't going to eat the food on our plates, and said we would have to pay an extra £20 to cover food wastage costs.

'I was furious and said we were already paying £18 for three meals, but the staff kept checking if we had eaten the food.

'In the end I wrapped it up in a serviette, and put it into my bag when they weren't looking, so it looked like we had eaten it.'

Miss Clark, who works as a corporate solutions consultant, said she complained after the meal, last Saturday afternoon, and was given £3 off her bill.

She added: 'We squared the bill and left before having our main course. In the end I didn't have to pay the extra charge, but it felt as though they were trying to rip me off.

'This was very poor customer service and I wanted to make the public aware.'

Miss Clark claims she also had to pay an adult price of £6.95 for son Sam, because he was more than 145cm tall - just over 4ft 9in.

In September last year, Caroline Hall, from Hedworth, Jarrow, was also charged an adult price for her daughter Georgia-Leigh, 10, at the Kylin Buffet, for the same reason.

Sam Fung, manager at the Kylin Buffet, said: 'I accept that my staff should not have spoken to the family about the food on their plates more than once.

'However, they left a lot of food from the buffet on their plates and we have to charge for wastage of food. We stand by our policies.'

France has passed a new law requiring larger supermarkets to strike deals with food banks and charities to donate unsold food to help feed those in need.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
France has become the first country in the world to ban supermarkets from throwing away or destroying unsold food, forcing them instead to donate it to charities and food banks.

Under a law passed unanimously by the French senate, as of Wednesday large shops will no longer bin good quality food approaching its best-before date. Charities will be able to give out millions more free meals each year to people struggling to afford to eat.

The law follows a grassroots campaign in France by shoppers, anti-poverty campaigners and those opposed to food waste. The campaign, which led to a petition, was started by the councillor Arash Derambarsh. In December a bill on the issue passed through the national assembly, having been introduced by the former food industry minister Guillaume Garot.

Campaigners now hope to persuade the EU to adopt similar legislation across member states.

The law has been welcomed by food banks, which will now begin the task of finding the extra volunteers, lorries, warehouse and fridge space to deal with an increase in donations from shops and food companies.

Supermarkets will also be barred from deliberately spoiling food in order to stop it being eaten by people foraging in stores' bins. In recent years, growing numbers of families, students, unemployed and homeless people in France have been foraging in supermarket bins at night to feed themselves. People have been finding edible products thrown out just as their best-before dates approached.

Some supermarkets doused binned food in bleach, reportedly to prevent food poisoning from items taken from bins. Other supermarkets deliberately binned food in locked warehouses for collection by refuse trucks.

Now bosses of supermarkets with a footprint of 400 sq metres (4,305 sq ft) or more will have to sign donation contracts with charities or face a penalty of €3,750 (£2,900).Jacques Bailet, head of Banques Alimentaires, a network of French food banks, described the law as "positive and very important symbolically". He said it would greatly increase an already emerging trend for supermarkets to donate to food banks.

"Most importantly, because supermarkets will be obliged to sign a donation deal with charities, we'll be able to increase the quality and diversity of food we get and distribute," he said. "In terms of nutritional balance, we currently have a deficit of meat and a lack of fruit and vegetables. This will hopefully allow us to push for those products."

Until now French food banks received 100,000 tonnes of donated goods, 35,000 tonnes of which came from supermarkets. Even a 15% increase in food coming from supermarkets would mean 10m more meals being handed out each year, Bailet said.

Food banks and charities will, for their part, be obliged to collect and stock the food in properly hygienic conditions and distribute it with "dignity". This means the food must be given out at a proper food bank or centre, where human contact and conversation is fostered, rather than, for example, simply organised as handoutson the street.

Crucially the law will also make it simpler for the food industry to give some excess products directly to food banks from factories. Until now, if a dairy factory made yoghurts carrying the brand name of a supermarket, it had been a long, complex process to donate any excess to charity. Now it would be faster and easier. "That is very important for food banks because this is a real source of quality products, coming straight from the factory," Bailet said.

Derambarsh, who is a municipal councillor for Courbevoie, about five miles north-west of Paris, said: "The next step is to ask the president, François Hollande, to put pressure on Jean-Claude Juncker and to extend this law to the whole of the EU. This battle is only just beginning. We now have to fight food waste in restaurants, bakeries, school canteens and company canteens."

Carrefour, France's biggest supermarket group, said it welcomed the law, which would build on food donations its supermarkets already made.

France, so far, goes further than the UK, where the government has a voluntary agreement with the grocery and retail sector to cut food and packaging waste in the supply chain and does not have mandatory targets. However, a UK food waste bill, with similar provisions, was introduced to the Commons last September by the Labour MP Kerry McCarthy.

Of the 7.1m tonnes of food wasted in France annually, 67% is binned by consumers, 15% by restaurants and 11% by shops. Each year 1.3bn tonnes of food are wasted worldwide.

A report published in 2015 showed that UK households threw away 7m tonnes of food in 2012, enough to fill London's Wembley stadium nine times over. Avoidable household food waste in the UK is associated with 17m tonnes of CO ₂ emissions annually.

This article was amended on 8 February 2016 to correct the penalty that could be imposed on supermarkets that flout the law. An earlier version gave this as fines of up to €75,000 (£53,000) or two years' imprisonment.
