In order for Member States to achieve the targets provided for in this Directive, Member States should evaluate and adapt their food waste prevention programmes to include new measures, where appropriate, involving multiple partners from the public and private sectors including producers, distributors, suppliers, retailers and food service providers, as well as social economy actors and environmental and consumer organisations, with coordinated actions tailored to address specific hotspots as well as attitudes and behaviours that lead to food waste. In the preparation of these programmes, Member States could draw inspiration from the recommendations produced by the Citizens’ Panel on Food Waste, the European Consumer Food Waste Forum’s compendium of tools, best practices and recommendations to reduce consumer food waste and the exchanges in the EU Platform on Food Losses and Food Waste.
