Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to recommendations set out in the National Food Strategy published on 15 July 2021, what plans they have to commission a dedicated strategy that (1) tackles food waste and its climate impact, and (2) includes mandatory food waste reporting.

The Resources and Waste Strategy sets out how the Government will work with WRAP to address both supply chain and household food waste from farm to fork and included a commitment to consult on introducing mandatory reporting of food waste.

The Government will publish its response to the National Food Strategy in due course.
