Abstract

This chapter is intended as “food for thought” for a holistic perspective on Food Waste Management, linking inductive research of an EU-project with the scope of an interdisciplinary vision combining aspects of macro-economics, ecology and ethics. The academic contribution is to demonstrate the broad variety of choices for decision-makers in different geographical and ethnic regions in a joint international effort to optimize the availability of harvested food through all the global/national food chains to the consumers; this includes those consumers who are for various reasons not able to pay the market-price at all. The original terminus “distribution” taken from the business administration literature is enlarged in this chapter by categories such as “food-recovery” and Food banks/charities.
