Asked by: Lord Oates (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)
Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have for a public information campaign to increase public understanding of the impact of food waste on (1) UK, and (2) global, emissions.
Answered by Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park
We support Food Waste Action Week, and the year-round consumer campaigns delivered by WRAP to reduce and prevent food waste. These include Love Food Hate Waste which seeks to help citizens reduce their food waste and make the connection with climate change including using the banner Wasting food feeds climate change. The current campaigns do not differentiate between UK and global emissions but look to make the broad connection between food waste and climate change and empower citizens to throw away less.
