Au loc de muncă, dar nu își permit mâncare. Cine ajunge astăzi să ceară ajutor de la băncile pentru alimente și de ce

In Europe, significant food waste occurs alongside rising food insecurity, affecting even employed individuals. Esteban Arriaga Miranda from FEBA highlights the paradox of food waste and poverty, emphasizing the need for better policies to facilitate food donations. He argues that while food banks play a crucial role, they cannot replace government responsibility in addressing poverty. The current recovery rate of edible food is alarmingly low, with only about 2% being salvaged from the supply chain. Miranda calls for legal guarantees for the right to food and clearer regulations to encourage food donations, stressing that surplus food can still be safe for consumption. He notes that many working individuals struggle to afford adequate meals, illustrating the urgent need for systemic change in food distribution and waste management.
