Abstract: The European Union is committed via legally binding targets to reduce per capita food waste at the retail and consumption stage. This requires realising profound behavioural change in diverse political and cultural contexts. Work of food waste experts systematically analysing implemented reduction interventions revealed important insights and gaps that need to be jointly addressed by scientists, policymakers and practitioners.
