Section A
Conversation 1
M: And now, for the lighter side of the news, Europe is setting an example
for the rest of the world when it comes to food waste.
W: That’s right John. This week the Italian government pass legislation
that aims to dramatically reduce the amount of food wasted in the country. New
laws have been put into place that would make it easier for farms and
supermarkets to donate unsold foods to those who are in need.
M: Yes. And in addition to this, businesses would now be rewarded for
successful efforts to cut food waste.
W: Italy is not the only country to focus on reducing food waste. Just
earlier this year, the European Parliament voted in favor of legislation that
would stop grocery giants from unfair trading practices that result in
overproduction, thus creating waste.
M: In France, the government has banned supermarkets from throwing away
edible foods and imposed harsh penalties on businesses that fail to comply with
the regulations.
W: While there is still much progress to be made, other countries could
learn a thing or two from the example set by France and Italy. In the United
States, up to forty percent of all food goes uneaten. Despite the fact that one
in seven American households lacks regular access to good food, one major cause
of this problem is the confusion over food expiration labels, which are
currently not regulated by the government.
M: All this could change soon. This wave of new laws in Europe will
definitely put more pressure on law makers to reduce food waste here. We turn
now to a spokesperson from Harvard University’s Food Law and Policy Clinic for
more on the story. And now, let’s welcome Prof. Edward Becker to speak to
us.
