Now for the lighter side of the news you are sending a sample for the rest of the world when it comes food waste.
That's right John. This week the Italian government passed legislation that aims to dramatically reduce the amount of food wasted in the country. New laws have been put into place that will make it easier for farms and supermarkets to donate unsold foods to those who need.
Yes, in addition to these, this is now rewarded for successful efforts to cut food waste.
Italy is not the only country to focus on reducing food waste. Just early this year, the European parliament voted in favor of legislation that I would stop grocery Giants from unfair trading prACTices that resulting overproduction that’s creating waste.
In France, the government has banned supermarket from throwing the way edible foods and post the harsh penalties and businesses that fails to comply with the regulations
while there is still much proGREss to be made. Other countries could learn a thing or two from the example set by France and Italy. In the United States, up to 40 percent of all food, despite the fACT that one in seven American households likes regular access to good food. One major cause of problem is the confusion over food expiration labels which are currently not regulated by the government.
All this could change soon. Just wave new laws in Europe but definitely put more pressure on law makers to reduce food waste here.
Return now to a spokesperson, form the Harvard University’s food law from more on the story and now let’s welcome Professor Edward Beggar to speak to us.
