Foodsharing Luxembourg published a first version of its political demands in February 2023 and presented them before the elections to politicians: Minister: sent in.
In the meantime, more European countries have introduced laws against food waste, and Foodsharing Luxembourg organized a panel discussion with experts and politicians on the subject a year ago. Explanations with Daniel Waxweiler from Foodsharing Luxembourg.

In the frame of the national elections, Foodsharing Luxembourg supports the One Planet Luxembourg manifesto to ask that its demands are discussed in the election campaign and taken into account in the coalition negotiations that will follow the municipal and national elections.
As a citizen, you can also support the manifesto.

End of the "Distribution Days": Project against food waste has been stopped
After our first call, our working group “Political work” at Foodsharing Luxembourg received interesting input. In addition to the situation in canteens and shops, we were e.g. told that subsidies are paid for the sowing of potatoes, not for harvesting them, and thus for reasons of profitability they often rot away meaninglessly on the fields. As your insight into different areas is really helpful for our work to improve the national legislation on food loss and waste, we extend our call.
Where do you see problems in the system? Are you aware of mistakes that lead to waste? Please contact us by November 6 at moien@foodsharing.lu.

We need you!
The working group “Political Work” of Foodsharing Luxembourg is currently working on demands for an improvement of the national legislation on food loss and waste. The starting point should be an inventory.
For this, we would like your help! Where do the problems in the system lie? Are you aware of current failings that lead to food loss or food waste? Do you see patterns or contradictions in your everyday life, at work or at home that lead to waste?
Let us know at moien@foodsharing.lu by 15 October.
All submissions will be processed anonymously.
