Food Tech Stories: How Italy Fighting with Food Waste

Too Long; Didn't Read

Italy passes law to send unsold food to charities instead of dumpsters. 88 million tons of catering waste is created every year with related expenses assessed at 143 billion euros. Food waste isn't just a moral and financial issue yet it drains the earth of its resources. Rather than discarding the leftovers, the country needs organizations that offer food to give unsold to a good cause instead of discarding it. Rather than forcing punishments, the nation will give trash collection tax cuts to organizations that partake in the activity.
