Description
Summary:This contribution aims to analyze the new measure of Food Income, an Italian legislation that has been introduced recently to combat food poverty. This tool enables the free distribution of food parcels made from unsold commercial products, donated by participating businesses to people in absolute poverty. Beginning with the analysis of the measure, which is currently being tested in some Italian municipalities, the goal of this contribution is to provide a comprehensive overview of current practices and developments in addressing food waste within the Italian legal system, offering a comparative and multilevel perspective on the multiple purposes that can be served by a sustainable food chain.
