Food waste
The Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality has been pursuing a policy aimed at reducing food waste since 2009. One of the objectives of the UN Sustainable Development Goals is halving per capita food waste by consumers and supermarkets by 2030 compared to 2015 and minimising food losses in the rest of the chain.
The European Union has subscribed to this objective and the Dutch government also endorses it.

Discuss these questions with your classmate:

- Do you know what happens to food not sold in supermarkets in the Netherlands?
- How do grocery stores get rid of expired food?
- Do you think it will help to simplify food expiration labels?
- Do you think that selling “ugly” vegetables at discount prices will be a good experiment?
- Do you think this will help: Stores offer consumers free food magazines that share waste reduction tips.
- Do you think this will help: Stores offer consumers free recipes to utilize leftovers.
