192. Deputy Roderic O'Gorman asked the Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment when the revised food waste prevention roadmap will be published; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36155/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department is the lead Government Department in developing Ireland's National Food Waste Prevention Roadmap, and in the coordination and review of its implementation.
The current National Food Waste Prevention Roadmap 2023-2025, launched in November 2022, sets out a number of priority actions to bring the focus on food waste prevention across key sectors in the food supply chain together in a coherent manner.
The Roadmap will be updated to ensure actions are relevant and appropriate so that Ireland is on the right path to deliver on its food waste reduction obligations. The preparation of the next iteration of the National Food Waste Prevention Roadmap before the end of 2025 will involve consultation with key stakeholders and will be prepared on a statutory basis following publication of the Circular Economy Strategy.
