The Issue

Every day, tons of edible food are thrown away by supermarkets, restaurants, and food suppliers while millions of people struggle with hunger. Food waste contributes to environmental damage and deepens social inequality. This petition calls for legislation that mandates businesses to donate unsold but safe-to-eat food to charities, shelters, and food banks instead of discarding it.
 
 Why It Matters:

1/3 of all food produced globally is wasted, while millions face food insecurity.

Food waste contributes to climate change by producing methane in landfills.

 Redistributing surplus food can feed those in need without extra production costs.

Key Demands:

 1. Pass a law requiring food businesses to donate unsold food instead of wasting it.

 2. Provide tax incentives to encourage supermarkets and restaurants to donate surplus food.

 3. Establish a national food redistribution program connecting businesses with food banks and shelters.

 4. Protect businesses from liability issues when donating safe food.

5. Launch public awareness campaigns on reducing food waste at home and in businesses.

Call to Action:

Sign this petition to urge policymakers to take action against food waste and hunger. Together, we can create a sustainable system where excess food helps those in need instead of ending up in landfills!
