Cyprus records highest rate of food waste in EU

Cyprus records the highest rate of food waste in the EU, with significant environmental and social consequences, environment commissioner Antonia Theodosiou said on Friday.

Addressing the award ceremony for the mindREsetters of the year competition, Antoniou said the state has acknowledged the problem and is promoting policies to address it.

She pointed out, however, that it was daily habits that made the difference and that this was evident through the simple, smart and implementable proposals but forward by students.
