Abstract


This paper assesses the impact of food waste at the European Union level.Food waste has raised real concerns in recent years, occupying the first place on the agenda of meetings organized at European and international level. While in the developed countries there is an excess of consumption which, paradoxically, involves huge losses, in other countries conflicts, economic or meteorological conditions generate food crises.

The fight against food waste at the level of the European Union, implies the application of measures of responsibility and mobilization of producers, suppliers and sellers, consumers and associations, throughout the agri-food chain, thus maximizing the resources of edible foods.The importance of this topic will continue to grow, especially given the need to feed a growing global population.


Keywords
