Abstract
The purpose of this analysis is to highlight the urgency of quickly obtaining an effective European law against food waste. This analysis demonstrates the blockages (lobbing and long and slow procedures), and solutions are proposed in view of the social and environmental emergency. This analysis is therefore all the more important as it applies in a disrupted and unbalanced social and environmental situation. Indeed, with millions of poor people on the European continent on the one hand and the emergence of worrying global warming on the other, citizens are expecting effective and innovative legal tools. Legislative decision-making between the different bodies of the European Union (European Commission, European Parliament and Council of the European Union) is a legal challenge that must be taken up. It should indeed be remembered that the DrawDown project (2020) and IPCC (2022) reports have confirmed that reducing food waste is one of the three main solutions to combat global warming. Can European law therefore reconcile economic production and social redistribution for better equity between everyone ? This is the objective of this legal analysis.
