The Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies announces that the vademecum “Io Non Waste” has been published on the Ministry website.
It is a list of tips and practical information to combat food waste: from the list before shopping to reading the expiry date, from the correct storage of food to the use of leftovers in new recipes.
The 50% of waste is still in the house, every year, in fact, in Italy rubbish 12 billions of food. Small daily gestures are needed to significantly reduce food losses through more conscious and sustainable consumption.
“One year after the entry into force of the law against food waste - said Minister Maurizio Martina -, the food recovered and donated to the most needy has increased, getting closer and closer to the target of one million tons. This is one of the most important laws we passed after Expo. A backbone of our country's commitment to sustainability models that start from zeroing waste ".
