Campaigners have launched legal proceedings against the government's decision not to introduce mandatory food waste reporting

“After a decade of failed voluntary reporting, it is a dereliction of duty for the government to abandon this policy."

Even low-risk, low-regret opportunities to improve public health and reduce meat and dairy emissions are being left to rot.

Supermarkets including Waitrose and Tesco have condemned the decision to remove mandatory declarations

Despite 99% of consultees being in favour of mandatory food waste reporting, DEFRA has said it will be sticking with a voluntary approach.

Feedback says a report for the UK government in 2021 found that the carbon footprint of Australian beef was 50% higher than for UK beef

Feedback, which is represented by Leigh Day, has last week filed an application for a judicial review of the Australia deal.

"We are very disappointed by the parliamentary under-secretary of state for Defra’s lack-lustre response,"
