"In these times of global economic crisis and famine in the Horn of Africa, it is deeply unsettling to think that 1.3 billion tonnes of food could be lost or destroyed around the world every year. The first repercussion of wastage, and by far the most worrying, is a humanitarian one: despite food production levels that are sufficient to feed the world’s population, 25 000 people die each day as a result of chronic undernourishment. Food wastage can be seen at every stage in the chain, from harvest to consumption. The environmental impact of these failures is exacerbated and has knock-on effects on fisheries and energy resources as well as on waste management. We have the tools required to draw up and implement an effective policy for reducing food wastage. I am still convinced that a European information and awareness-raising campaign on this issue should be implemented, so that every party can take action at their own level."@en1
