Free redistribution of surplus food in the circular economy: the Italian legislation

Author

  • Ilaria Trap?

Abstract

Taking a critical approach, this paper aims to analyse the Italian law no. 166/2016 "Rules for the reduction of waste, the conscious use of resources and environmental sustainability". The objectives are to highlight the merits and loopholes of the law and to evaluate the results of its application two years after its approval. Moreover, the essay deals with the European rules on food safety, analysing if these rules can be an obstacle to the application of the law. Finally, the Author aims to understand if food donation is an appropriate tool for fighting food waste.
