HOUSEHOLD FOOD WASTE ESTIMATED IN EUROPE - INTERMEDIATE STUDY ON FOOD WASTE DURING THE COVID - 19 PANDEMIC
Abstract
The arithmetic average of food waste estimates in European Union countries is 2 kg/capita/year higher than the arithmetic average of food waste estimates in all European countries, from 74 kg/capita/year to 76 kg/capita/year. The difference is greater in the case of the weighted average (European Union - 73 kg/capita/year, all European countries 66 kg/capita/year), the one we consider more representative in terms of impact on the economy and the environment. However, the arithmetic average remains a key indicator in assessing individual consumer behavior with regard to food waste. Although there are European Union policies that can combat food waste, they are not exploited, and the opportunities offered have not been put into practice. There is a lack of assessments of the impact of different European Union policies on combating food waste.
