EU food waste hits 129 kg per person in 2024
Original: Food waste in the EU: 129 kg per person in 2024
The European Commission reports that food waste in the European Union reached 129 kilograms per person in 2024. The figure covers waste across the food supply chain, from farms and processing to households. The data feeds into EU efforts under the Farm to Fork strategy to halve food waste by 2030, and has drawn attention to household behaviour and supply chain losses as the main contributors.
Why now: The European Commission has just released new EU-wide food waste statistics for 2024.
