The EPA's Food Recovery Hierarchy prioritizes actions with the most benefit.
Working with USDA, FDA, and state and tribal partners, EPA plans to secure action on the 2030 goal by working with leaders in the food system (e.g., private, government, non-profit, academia, faith) to promote successful interventions and tools to advance the sustainable management of food.]]> 2023-06-08 03:22:02 UTC https://padlet.com/pelusitacat/qqiwcxtgfuserofg/wish/2617794519 diegoflona814 https://padlet.com/pelusitacat/qqiwcxtgfuserofg/wish/2618521470
Spain has not made the most of these years. Government action was limited to a strategy of the Ministry of Agriculture titled More food, less waste, launched in 2013, which, with limited resources, achieved less results than would have been expected. Within the framework of this strategy, a household waste quantification panel has been made, but what happens in the food chain as a whole has not been analyzed and, above all, a harmonized framework has not been generated for the measurement and analysis of this phenomenon in our country.]]> 2023-06-08 17:47:46 UTC https://padlet.com/pelusitacat/qqiwcxtgfuserofg/wish/2618521470 diegoflona814 https://padlet.com/pelusitacat/qqiwcxtgfuserofg/wish/2618523017
According to data, it is estimated that Spaniards waste more than 1 million tons of food per year. Individually, each person throws away about 28 kilograms a year. According to the latest report on Food Waste in Spain 2021, 3.8% of the total food and beverages purchased inside and outside homes are wasted. Data that represents a significant loss of resources.

Not only does that valuable food not go to people who need it, but it also contributes to climate change through the methane gas food gives off while decomposing in the landfill, wastes the water that was used to grow that food, and ends up costing you more money than necessary since you pay for more food than you need.]]> 2023-06-08 17:52:34 UTC https://padlet.com/pelusitacat/qqiwcxtgfuserofg/wish/2618524171 deavilablancofer https://padlet.com/pelusitacat/qqiwcxtgfuserofg/wish/2618525340 Significant: The Model United Nations

The objective is that the companies in the chain allow a self-diagnosis of their production processes to determine where food losses occur, establish measures to minimize the measures and are intended for other uses for which a hierarchy of priorities is specified. . This hierarchy of priorities is an essential aspect of the law and builds a fur to the goal that the agent's food must give to avoid waste.

• Address climate change;
• Increase food security, productivity and economic efficiency; and
• Conserve energy and other resources.

In the U.S., 30 to 40 percent of the food supply is never eaten, wasting the resources used to produce it and creating many environmental impacts. Food waste is the single most common material landfilled and incinerated in the U.S.

we need to prevent food waste from being generated in the first place.
