France, Feeding the World

France has passed a wonderful new law, that every country should follow. France has made it ILLEGAL for supermarkets to throw out edible food. Supermarket managers that disobey the new law could face jail time and fines up to $80,000 (U.S.)

The Government wants supermarkets to enter into contract with local shelters and charities instead and donate rather than waste. 

Nearly one third of all food produced in the world is wasted. (world resources institute), this is a sad figure when there are so many mouths this could feed.

I praise France for creating this law, lets hope they can 'police' it and make a real difference in the world.
