lpv:translated text	"Food waste has assumed such proportions that it can be regarded as a genuine global problem. Secondly, this issue conflicts with the fundamental problem of food supply, which is seriously compromised by limited natural resources as compared with the growth in the world population and the meagre access of the poorest population groups to food. The bulk of food produced nowadays could, in fact, be reused for food purposes rather than being disposed of like any other refuse, with a major impact in environmental and economic terms as well as ethical implications. Combating food waste must therefore become a priority on Europe’s policy agenda: the Commission, Council and Member States must draw up practical strategies and measures to halve it along the entire supply chain by 2025, to improve the efficiency of the industry, and to raise the public’s awareness of an issue that is unknown in many respects. People must be informed not only about the causes and effects of waste, but also about ways of reducing it: a scientific and civic culture guided by the principles of sustainability and solidarity must be fostered so as to encourage better behaviour."@en1
