ABSTRACT

The choice of this topic stems from the recognition that food wastage and loss have profound implications for various aspects of our society. From an economic perspective, food waste represents a significant loss of resources and revenue for the business. On a social level, wasting food contradicts the ethical imperative to ensure that everyone has access to sufficient and nutritious food. The primary objective of this article is to shed legal strategies that have proven effective in reducing food wastage and promoting food recovery. It will develop into various legal measures such as the establishment of food waste reduction targets, standardizing date labeling, protecting food donors from liability and promoting waste-to-energy regulations. By analysing these strategies, the article aims to provide insights into how government, business and consumers can work together to create a more sustainable and efficient food.
