Some 60% of Italians have taken
steps to curtail or eliminate food waste by reusing leftovers,
paying greater attention to expiry dates and asking for doggy
bags at restaurants, according to research by farmers'
association Coldiretti presented at Milan Expo on Tuesday.
However, the situation remains "of concern", Coldiretti
added.
On average, Italians throw away 76 kg of food per person
per year, the study found.
"Solutions need to be found," Coldiretti said, adding that
buying food directly from producers helped contain waste.
