Recital 4 a (new)
(4 a) In the EU, 90 million tonnes of food are wasted annually, of which a considerable part is safe and fit for consumption. Many beneficiaries already have supply sources other than EU support such as local or regional supermarkets, farmers, restaurants etc., which at the same time provides aid to the most deprived and prevents food waste. Notwithstanding efforts to minimise food waste supported by other EU programmes, this Fund should support the development of or strengthening these local food supply chains thereby reducing food waste.
