Statement on EU legally binding targets to reduce food waste Signatories:

Statement on EU legally binding targets to reduce food waste As part of the EU’s farm to fork strategy, the Commission aims to propose legally binding targets for EU member states to reduce food waste. [...] The EU has committed to meet Sustainable Development Goal 12.3 to reduce food waste by 50% by 2030, which Champions 12.3 recommend should be interpreted as a 50% reduction in all food loss and waste from farm to fork. [...] We, the undersigned, support the below proposals, and call on the European Commission, European Council, European Parliament and EU member states to support these proposals: • Introduce legally binding targets for EU member states to collectively achieve a 50% reduction in EU food loss and waste by 2030 (not lower ambition targets below 50%) • These legally binding targets should require 50% reduc.
