实验发现减少食物浪费的行动有助超市省钱

 

    据报道，法国和一些国家近来通过法令，迫使超市将不需要、过期但仍可食用的食品捐给慈善团体。尽管零售商店和市场在食物产业链上浪费食物的占比较低，然而法国环境和能源管理局（ADEME）发现，他们每年丢弃的食物等同28亿份餐，要减少浪费还有很长的路要走。环境和能源管理局称，采取简单、花费很少的行动，所有商店3个月内可减少22%的食物浪费。

    Cutting food waste is an appealing social goal, but experiments in France found that measures to cut the amount of food being thrown out also saved supermarkets money.

 

    Like a number of other countries, France has recently adopted legislation that forces supermarkets to donate to charities food that is unwanted or past its sell-by date but still edible.

 

    While retail shops and markets account for the smallest percentage of losses in the food chain, the French Environment and Energy Management Agency ADEME nevertheless found that they were responsible for the equivalent of 2.8 billion meals going to waste annually, and that there was much that could be done to reduce spoilage.
