據(jù)報(bào)道，法國和一些國家近來通過法令，迫使超市將不需要、過期但仍可食用的食品捐給慈善團(tuán)體。盡管零售商店和市場在食物產(chǎn)業(yè)鏈上浪費(fèi)食物的占比較低，然而法國環(huán)境和能源管理局（ADEME）發(fā)現(xiàn)，他們每年丟棄的食物等同28億份餐，要減少浪費(fèi)還有很長的路要走。環(huán)境和能源管理局稱，采取簡單、花費(fèi)很少的行動(dòng)，所有商店3個(gè)月內(nèi)可減少22%的食物浪費(fèi)。

 

    部分原文報(bào)道如下：

 

    Cutting food waste is an appealing social goal, but experiments in France found that measures to cut the amount of food being thrown out also saved supermarkets money.

 

    Like a number of other countries, France has recently adopted legislation that forces supermarkets to donate to charities food that is unwanted or past its sell-by date but still edible.

 

    While retail shops and markets account for the smallest percentage of losses in the food chain, the French Environment and Energy Management Agency ADEME nevertheless found that they were responsible for the equivalent of 2.8 billion meals going to waste annually, and that there was much that could be done to reduce spoilage.
