Work is also underway at the consumer level. Gangi notes the importance of engaging with supermarkets, retailers, hospitality businesses, and consumers to optimize the food preparation process.
Energy crisis and food security
Today, the issue of rational consumption is particularly acute due to the instability of global markets.
"The entire energy-food complex is currently under close scrutiny. War affects not only the price of oil and gas, but also fertilizers. Fertilizers are a resource for food production, just like energy. All this means that food production could decline. This is why we urgently need to ration what we produce that becomes food waste," explains Gangi.
What can everyone do?
He reminded that solving a global problem begins with the personal choice of each person: “Every initiative matters, and every small action is important.”
"I'd like to remind everyone that reducing waste is something we can all do every day," says Gangi. "Not just as producers, carriers, or retailers, but also as consumers: whether it's more carefully planning your shopping list, storing your food properly, or supporting businesses that reduce waste. Every time we make these choices, we help protect the environment and ensure that food ends up on plates, not in trash bins."
