Det h\u00e4nder saker!<\/p>\n

Jo, faktiskt!<\/p>\n

Samtidigt som vi sl\u00e4nger och sl\u00e4nger och sl\u00e4nger mat varenda dag h\u00e4r i Sverige, och samtidigt som det s\u00e4kert \u00e4r \u00e4nnu v\u00e4rre i en del andra l\u00e4nder, och samtidigt som Birgitta delar ut de sm\u00e5 matpaketen i Rift Valley i Kenya f\u00f6r att f\u00e5 utsatta barnfamiljer p\u00e5 f\u00f6tter — samtidigt finns det de som f\u00f6rs\u00f6ker tackla matsvinnet och mator\u00e4ttvisorna i stor skala. Selina Juul<\/strong> i Danmark<\/strong> har ot\u00e4cka siffror men ocks\u00e5 ett f\u00f6rslag p\u00e5 hur l\u00e4nderna i EU ska kunna ta itu med problemet.<\/p>\n

Och i Danmark finns en antimatsvinnsr\u00f6relse, eller ska vi kanske s\u00e4ga en tavarap\u00e5allmatenr\u00f6relse, Stop Spild af Mad<\/a>, som arbetar med b\u00e5de opinionsbildning och praktiska vardagsr\u00e5d och recept<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Heja, heja!<\/p>\n

European Alliance against Food Waste<\/strong><\/p>\n

Countries in EU are wasting 89 million <\/em>tonnes<\/em> of food every year. This is equivalent to 179 kg for every EU citizen. A new EU project teams up 21 partners, including two Danish ones, to try to stop the meaningless waste.
\n<\/em><\/strong>
\nEU forecasts indicate that the European food waste will increase by 42 % over the next eight years. In 2020, every Italian, German, Danish and in total\u00a0half a billion Europeans will annually waste a quarter ton of food.\u00a0It will send all food waste in Europe to astronomical 126 million tonnes per year.<\/p>\n

”In 2010, I spoke at the European Parliament in Brussels,” says Selina Juul, Founder of Stop Wasting Food movement Denmark. ”Since then, I\u00a0signed an international Declaration against food waste on behalf of Stop Wasting Food movement along with several European organizations. The Joint Declaration Against Food Waste intended to commit the EU to reduce food waste by at least 50 % before 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Declaration served as inspiration for the European Parliament’s resolution against food waste. This year, the European Commission started to approve the idea of setting ambitious goals for the reduction of food waste.<\/p>\n

Stop Wasting Food is now pinning the project\u2019s 21 Partners on the map of Europe with the start of a 4-year European cooperation against food waste: FUSIONS (Food Use of Social Innovation by Optimising Waste Prevention Strategies). Among the Partners involved in FUSIONS is UN Food and Agriculture Organization, FAO.<\/p>\n

Among the other 20 Partners from 13 European countries involved are universities, institutions, NGOs and companies. The project is funded by the\u00a0European Commission’s FP7. More than 80 European organizations have expressed their support for the FUSIONS.<\/p>\n

”The good news is that the EU Commission not only prepares statements, but also puts them into action,” continues Selina Juul. ”This is due to the fact that the Commission has now supported the FUSIONS-project. The project is the first joint and transnational action against food waste — and\u00a0even in these gigantic dimensions. We are very pleased to be a part of it.”<\/p>\n

Comparable measurements<\/strong><\/p>\n

The initial objective of the project is to standardize the measurement of food waste, as it is currently difficult to put precise and comparable figures\u00a0on food waste in the EU. Partly because of the many different methods that are used in different countries.<\/p>\n

Next aim is to create a European platform of governmental and non-governmental organizations and companies from the food chain, i.e. industry, retailers and consumer organizations. The platform aims at providing simplified data that can identify and evaluate new initiatives to reduce food waste. Furthermore, the results will be disseminated to the public, and the development of technical and policy recommendations to the entire value chain and the EU.<\/p>\n

The platform will then activate, engage and support the main players in the European food value chain in order to deliver a reduction of 50% of food waste by 2020.<\/p>\n

The Stop Wasting Food movement has currently a large international network and has been repeatedly included in international publications on the subject, including FAO report on food waste ”Global Food Losses and Food Waste”.<\/p>\n

Since 2008, Stop Wasting Food movement (Stop Spild Af Mad) put focus on food waste in 500+ articles in newspapers and magazines, as well as more than 40+ radio and 34 TV appearances. Among them BBC News and German TV channel ARTE. The movement has earned support of several thousands of Danish consumers, MP’s and MEP’s, as well as leading Danish food personalities. Among the prominent supporters of the movement is Denmark’s former Prime Minister Mr. Poul Nyrup Rasmussen. The movement collaborates with Danish Government as well as leading Danish and international stakeholders against food waste.<\/p>\n

Selina Juul has published an award winning leftovers cookbook \u201cStop spild af mad \u2013 en kogebog med mere\u201d with contributions from Danish top chefs,\u00a0often speaks about food waste on international conferences and assemblies and was recently one of the Speakers at TEDxCopenhagen.<\/p>\n

The second of the two Danish Partners is communication agency Communiqu\u00e9, which is part of Edelman – the world’s largest PR network. Director at Communiqu\u00e9 Frans Grandjean is looking forward to cooperation:<\/p>\n

”The fight against food waste is an unusually sympathetic case, and we have cooperated with Stop Wasting Food movement for over a year with the\u00a0preparation of the EU project. We look forward to beginning the work in the project and assist Stop Wasting Food with execution of the work. Dissemination is an important part of the fight against food waste.”<\/p>\n
