EU Directive 2018/851 which amends Directive 2008/98 on waste (the [[Waste Framework Directive]]) suggests that measures to promote prevention and reduction of [[Food Waste]] should be in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by the United Nations on 25 Sep 2015 and in particular its target of halving per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses, by 2030.
