Halving their food waste by 2030. That is the commitment made by the Swiss Confederation and 28 leaders of companies and associations in the food sector in an agreement signed in mid-May in Bern. An agreement that is part of the action plan against food waste adopted by the Federal Council on 6 April. This agreement announces voluntary measures, defined by the companies themselves. For example, they will be able to increase donations of unsold food, redesign packaging so that food keeps better, offer restaurant customers the option of taking their leftovers away… All the measures taken will be accompanied by stronger awareness-raising about food waste, which amounts to an average of 330 kg per inhabitant per year in Switzerland.
