UK grocers pledge to halve food waste from 'farm to fork' by 2030

Roadmap outlines steps firms must take to reduce waste at every stage of supply chain

Large supermarkets and manufacturers are signing up to efforts to drive down the UK's annual 20bn food waste bill by committing to halving waste from "farm to fork" by 2030.

A roadmap being published on Tuesday by the government's waste reduction body, Wrap, and the food and grocery charity IGD sets a series of milestones for businesses to reduce waste at every stage of the supply chain. The annual bill is equivalent to more than 300 per UK citizen.
