Sustainable Consumption and Production: Tackling Food Waste in the European Union

The project focuses on the political regulation of food waste and losses in the European Union (EU). Entailing severe consequences on the ecological, economic and social dimension, the issue of food waste and losses poses a major challenge for a sustainable transformation. The global community has responded by including the target 12.3 in the Sustainable Development Goals, which aims at halving per capita food waste at the retail and consumer levels by 2030. Building on the call for new modes of governance, the dissertation project sheds light on governance mechanisms to reduce food waste and losses in the EU.
