The Platform’s monthly newsletter was launched in March 2020, in the context of the Covid-19 crisis, as a way to stay up-to-date with the latest food loss and waste prevention initiatives taken by the members of the EU Platform on Food Losses and Food Waste. The aim of the newsletter is to help Platform members stay connected, to inform all interested stakeholders about Platform members’ activities and inspire further action to prevent food loss and waste.

The Commission has been working on a new website, the EU Food Loss and Waste Prevention Hub, a ‘one-stop-shop’ for information on food waste prevention in the EU, which will allow all interested stakeholders to share information about their activities. The Commission plans to launch the Hub on the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste on 29 September 2021. More information about this project will become available in due course.

For the purpose of the website and in order to avoid duplicate communication channels, the Commission will transform the monthly newsletter of the Platform into the Hub’s newsletter. The newsletter will include information on food loss and waste prevention initiatives published by stakeholders on the Commission’s new website, including those undertaken by members of the Platform.  

We invite you to stay tuned for the next edition of the newsletter which will be disseminated after the launch of the EU Food Loss and Waste Prevention Hub!
