Legislation tracker: Are EU's food waste reduction targets ambitious enough?
The EU is making history with its first-ever target to reduce food waste, but are they ambitious enough to drive real change?

The European Parliament, however, has pushed for bolder targets: a 20% reduction in processing and manufacturing and a 40% cut across retail, restaurants, and households by 2030.
