Denmark looks to halve food waste
Denmark waste almost 700,000 tonnes of food every year, of which two-thirds are coming from various links in the food industry. The rest comes from Danish homes. On Denmark's food waste day, 29 September, a large number of companies in the food industry are signing up to measure their food waste in order to halve it by 2030. "Food waste in Denmark must go down. It burdens the climate and the environment completely unnecessarily when we spend resources on food that ends up in the trash. Therefore, it is really important that the profession now takes this agenda seriously. It is a sure step in the right direction that some of the big players from the industry are signing today. If everyone in the world lived like us Danes, we would need almost four planets. We need to do something about our climate impact, and here we simply do not get around the fact that we all have to turn down our food waste. It is good for the environment and the climate - and not least the private economy," said Food Minister Mogens Jensen. Yesterday, Denmark has celebrated the first national food waste day.
