Professor Thia Hennessy:

I am aware that in the UN sustainable development goals, there is an ambition to halve food waste by 2030. I am not familiar with the European Commission policy on that but I know there is much work ongoing on harmonising the data collection to record a baseline, because obviously one needs a reliable baseline if one wants to halve the waste level. That is where much of the pan-EU work is ongoing at the moment. I am not familiar with specific policy targets for the EU.
