The goal of the book is to try to raise awareness of the great problem of food waste and describe what the social, economic and environmental consequences could be . The two authors, therefore, propose new ways to combat this problem and have a more sustainable future through the perspectives of the circular and social economy.
On the one hand, we have thesocial economy, which includes all those organizations that strive to achieve both social and economic goals. These are tasked with managing food waste, helping people with economic hardship and raising societal awareness of reducing food waste.
On the other hand, there is thecircular economy, which tends to make maximum use of the resources offered by the planet, with the goal of keeping materials as long as possible through recycling and reuse practices. In the food business in particular, many foods are wasted, and the goal is precisely to give them a second life.
The circular and social economy thus aims to reduce environmental impact and provide a more sustainable future. The book, therefore, recounts the results of research on the issue of food waste and its environmental impact, but also methods to combat it.
