Stakeholders and policymakers will discuss implications of WRAP’s refreshed Food Waste Reduction Roadmap aimed at accelerating the drive to meet 2030 targets.
Delegates will assess the future for food waste reporting including potential changes to procedure, the range of businesses and materials affected and issues of cost, impact and enforcement, as Defra reviews responses to their 2022 consultation.
They will also consider approaches for improving transparency and accountability, how reporting could work effectively across different sectors, and what a possible legislative and regulatory approach could look like if mandatory reporting were put in place.
The keynote speakers include Dawn Woodward deputy head resources and waste, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; Helen Bird, head of business collaboration at WRAP; Dr Laura Green, senior climate and sustainability consultant at ADAS; and Dr Gulbanu Kaptan, associate professor in behavioural decision making at University of Leeds.
Discussion points will include policy & prevention programmes, consumer behaviour, food waste collections, waste management, extended producer responsibility, agriculture and large food companies.
