"In my constituency of London, enough food to fill nearly 12 000 double-decker buses is thrown away every year. London is committed to cutting the amount of food sent to landfill. The London Food Board works hard to raise awareness of waste amongst both individuals and businesses. Household initiatives include residents using a specially provided kitchen caddy to collect food waste which is then sent for composting. Similarly, businesses are being encouraged to sign a ‘Food Waste Pyramid’ which asks them to avoid buying surplus food, redistribute any unwanted food to charities, and pass food unfit for human consumption to livestock. Many supermarkets and cafés in London have systems in place to give food at its ‘sell by’ date to homeless people, which is distributed via local members of the community. Food wastage is a problem for all EU countries. I therefore voted for this report as I believe we can share best practice across the EU on reducing the quantity of food waste that is being dumped into landfill."@en1
