“…Others have found that food loss and waste embeds 23-24% of the total global use of cropland, freshwater resource and fertilisers for food production [8]. In the European Union (EU), 88 million tonnes of food waste are generated each year (i.e., 173 kg per capita) with significant economic, environmental and social impacts [5,[9][10][11][12]. It has been estimated that 15-16% of the total environmental impact of the food supply chain in Europe can be attributed to food waste [13].…”

Food waste policy analysis has traditionally concentrated on supranational or national policies and paid little attention to the role of cities in tackling this phenomenon. Nevertheless, cities have proved to be crucial actors in tackling food waste, launching effective policies and initiatives to address it. By looking at 40 cities across 16 European countries, this study aims to present a new framework for assessing urban food waste policies and initiatives. The framework proposed identifies and sheds light on the links between the different types of policies launched, the main areas of interventions addressed, as well as the different actors intervening in urban food waste management. Finally, it identifies direct and indirect links with the Sustainable Development Goals, showing the role that cities can play in achieving the targets of the UN 2030 Agenda.

Food waste has been a global issue which damages the sustainability of the environment, economy, and human beings from the circular economy's perspective. To reduce food waste of agricultural products in the retail chain, this research tests the effectiveness of five different business models, including for-profit and non-profit types. Be it for-profit or non-profit businesses, the result suggests redesigned regional logistics and e-commerce help reduce food waste. A further investigation on the regional consumer's purchase behavior and lifestyle can also determine the effectiveness of each business model. Most importantly, the realization of circular economy to reduce agricultural food waste in the retail chain relies on the suppliers and consumers working together for the same goal.
