In the EU, an estimated 20% of the total food produced is lost or wasted (Eurostat, 2016), while 33 million people can not afford a quality meal every second day (Eurostat, 2018). Moreover, households generate more than half of the total food waste in the EU (47 million tonnes) with 70% of food waste arising at household, food service and retail (Eurostat, 2016).
