With the action plan to reduce food waste, the Federal Council wants to halve avoidable food losses by 2030 compared to 2017. It comprises seven measures taken by the private sector on its own responsibility, five measures taken by the public sector and two measures relating to information and education. In 2025, the Confederation will publish up-to-date data on food losses at all levels of the supply and value chain, i.e. agriculture, processing industry, trade, food service and households, and analyse whether the measures of the action plan are sufficient.
Companies of all sizes in the food industry can utilise the specified measures.
