The Federal Government wants to achieve the aim of halving per-capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reducing food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses, by 2030. What is crucial in this endeavour is for us all to combine our efforts.
The German Sustainable Development Strategy aims to include an indicator on food waste and losses in Germany.
In the 2018 Coalition Agreement, the ruling parties committed themselves to the goals agreed in Agenda 2030, such as Goal 12.3. This goal can be reached at national level only if all actors along the food supply chain are involved. The National Strategy sets the framework for the process
that is now following to jointly define measures to avoid food waste and achieve a change of mindset within society: greater appreciation of foodstuffs and of the resources needed for their production.
