Report made by CRI for the Danish Environmental Protection Agency is now published

Food is an essential component of human existence. Not only does it provide nutrients and energy that allow us to  grow, develop and remain healthy, the culture and tradition surrounding food also helps define us as individuals, families and nations. Most people are raised with an “eat-up” mentality – a common understanding not to waste food. International research has highlighted however, that the processes of production, distribution, preparation and serving of our food generate significant quantities of food waste that could otherwise have been eaten. This project seeks to uncover what we already know about avoidable food waste in Denmark and identify what further data is required to more accurately assess the potentials for the prevention of avoidable food waste in Denmark.
