Wastage is a subject that can raise ecological, economic and solidarity issues. In the context of sustainable development, fighting against good and energy waste is a current challenge. Thus, this chart shows the results of a survey conducted with French people aged 18 and over about wastage in 2019.
The survey asked French people what were the food products they regularly threw away. It appears that 23 percent stated that they often threw bread away. Meat and fish were regularly thrown away by 9 percent of the respondents.
To reduce food wastage, 84 percent of French gave some food to relatives or neighbors.
