This meeting is part of the Global Food Donation Policy Atlas project. The Atlas project is a partnership between the Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic and The Global FoodBanking Network, which explores legal and regulatory barriers to food donation, as well as opportunities for law and policy to drive donation of safe, surplus food, and shares best practices for consideration for countries involved in the project and beyond.
The meeting will bring together government officials and policymakers (along with select food donors and food recovery organizations) to discuss the role of date labels in impacting food waste, food recovery and donation. The meeting will also inform the development of a global issue brief on best practices regarding date labeling standards and policies. In addition to FLPC and GFN, the web conference series is conducted in partnership with Food Systems for the Future.
