Action Needed to Reduce Food Waste

Interview with Jamie Crummie, co-founder, Too Good To Go

Too Good To Go Co-Founder Jamie Crummie shares his thoughts around the power of legislation in addressing environmental challenges like food waste.
The Sustainability Development Goals SDF introduced in 2015 address food waste in Responsible Consumption and Production. The 193 Member States of the United Nations agreed to the new sustainable development agenda.17 sustainable goals and 169 targets are aimed at tackling key systemic barriers to sustainable development such as inequality, unsustainable consumption and production patterns, inadequate infrastructure, and lack of decent jobs.
Target 12.3 of the Sustainable Development Goals is to reduce the per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels by 50% and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses.
Food waste has come to the forefront of public discourse and received international media coverage. Governments like the French government have begun introducing legislation around food waste, challenging the way consumers view food and addressing behaviours of the big players like supermarkets.
According to Jamie Crummie, the legislation will be a key driver for change, changing the attitude of consumers. Consumers have an obligation to ask for change, the big players will listen.
