Aside from the click-baity article, the actual report puts emphasis on the quality of the existing data about food waste. A bit of an "let's measure this first" attitude, which is a bit of a let down to me.

"Food waste means all of the environmental impacts of food production without any of the benefits of people being fed." — it reads, and I think it misses an important point: leaving food waste to rot with the rest of the rubbish is in itself environmentally damaging while using it for composting, feeding larvae or both, is immensely beneficial.

I'd like to see more practical recommendations for what we already know we can do about food waste. And not just about reducing it, which is more easily said than done, but also about giving it a proper goodbye.
