https://doi.org/10.18412/1816-0395-2014-9-44-49
Abstract
Food waste is a major public policy issues. Consumers in industrialized countries waste as much as the entire net food production of sub-Saharan Africa. The global carbon footprint of wasted food has been estimated as more than twice the total greenhouse gas emissions of all road transportation in the United States. Concept of the waste “hierarchy” is intrinsic to the supply chain approach, and is linked to RF regulation, The hierarchy dictates the order in which waste should be managed, from prevention through to disposal. The waste of environmental and economic resources represented by food waste is a serious cost for Moscow Government but it is also one that can be tackled at a local and, even, individual; level. What is now required is coordination of those efforts within a clear and urgent framework for action.
