Food waste to be tracked
The Agricultural Economics Research Institute (AKI) set up a working group in order to reduce the annual loss of around 200 billion HUF that comes from food waste – Kürthy Gyöngyi, leader of the AKI’S Department of Food Chain Analysis told MTI.
Kürthy Gyöngyi stressed that to develop an uniform measuring system is needed in the first round. It is scheduled to be developed by 2017.
A family in Hungary spends 18-23 percent of the average income on food, and according to the last EU estimate made in 2006 was made by the EU, annually 40 thousand HUF worth food products, especially perishable meat and dairy products end their career in the trash per household. (MTI)
