13th meeting of the EU Platform on Food Losses and Food Waste

The second meeting of the EU Platform on Food Losses and Food Waste in its second mandate (2022-2026) will take place on 20 October in a hybrid format.

The meeting will begin with an overview from co-chairs of Platform sub-groups of their respective areas of work and planned deliverables. Liz Goodwin from the World Resources Institute will give an update on global developments in food loss and waste prevention, including the global coalition ‘Food is never waste’. Claire Bury, Deputy-Director General of the Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety of the European Commission will address the Platform on the contribution of food loss and waste prevention to food security and mitigating climate change effects.

Platform members will also discuss the status of the two flagship legislative proposals from the Farm to Fork Strategy: setting EU level food waste reduction targets and the revision of EU rules on date marking. The results of the EU consumer research study to identify new ways of expressing date marking will be presented for the first time.
