Hi everyone,
Just wanted to let you know there’s two big opportunities to influence UK government on food waste regulation:
If you agree with Feedback’s food waste policy brief (see this Table Debates article for a summary) that the UK’s voluntary agreements are not going fast enough, and we need to speed things up through regulation, then please do get in touch with me at mar...@feedbackglobal.org as we’re trying to coordinate responses to build pressure as much as possible (we have resources we can share). If you have any contacts with UK farmers, who might be interested in supporting mandatory food waste reporting at primary production level, would be particularly great to hear from you. The government’s current proposals are to delay mandatory food waste reporting until 2024, and not consult on mandatory food waste targets/extended producer responsibility until 2026/7 – only a few years before the SDG 12.3 target deadline in 2030. We hope to speed this up – and provide a template that other countries around the world could follow.
All the best,
Martin
