@9MPC62D6mos6MO
Instead of allowing businesses to destroy food that hasn’t been sold, let it be taken for free
@9ZGG6BB2wks2W
No. It should be up to businesses to find alternative ways to see that items not sold do not go to waste.
@9RH39QQ4mos4MO
Yes, but through means such as educating the public and local government and provide firms have a bigger role to play.
@9QP6RVC5mos5MO
Food waste could be given to homeless people who require it as opposed to being thrown out of restaurants etc.
@9QDKMQ45mos5MO
No but a programme by the supermarkets to give items close to the sell by date away to fiid banks and charities or even have families registered who they can offer it to for which they get paid by the govt a small fee to cover the transportation.
@9Q83PJ85mos5MO
Yes, so long as this is targeted at supermarkets that waste food by the ton and not the consumer who might not eat 100% of their food.
@9PWB7WC5mos5MO
Instead of investing to reduce food waste, invest in progams that can use the food or unused resources.
@9PH7GB85mos5MO
Yes. As a single person it is impossible for me to buy fresh food without a lot of going to waste due to the large packet sizes. However most food waste is at the industrial level so ant programs would need to prioritise that over individual people.
