Food Waste and the Circular Economy

The BRC & FDF are hosting a joint workshop on food waste and the circularity. The purpose of this event is to bring FDF and BRC members together to form an industry lead response so that we can feed in interventions and solutions to the Agrifood Roadmap.

BACKGROUND

The Circular Economy Taskforce has been established to identify and assess mechanisms that can underpin a Circular Economy Strategy for England. This Strategy will be underpinned by a series of roadmaps for reform in different sectors of the economy and their supply chains, one of which is Agrifood, due to be published in Autumn 2025.

To see the Government's proposals and more details on the BRC's position here.
