Food Waste Reduction within the Food System

Carrie Bradshaw is working with the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST) to identify and evaluate the evidence for a broad and innovative range of measures to prevent food waste across the food supply chain, looking at the food system as a whole, from farm-to-fork, and exploring the potential role of multiple actors, including law and policy makers, the food and farming industry, retailers, public institutions and consumers and households. This systematic review of food waste measures supports Parliamentary scrutiny of Government interventions to manage food waste, as well as longer-term strategic thinking surrounding food resource management and food security post-Brexit.
