Preventing and reducing food waste along supply chains is a high priority in many countries. Market based instruments and economic incentives are important tools for stimulating food supply-chain operators and households to food waste prevention and reduction. This study analyses the potential of market based instruments and economic incentives as specific policy measures to prevent and reduce food waste along the whole supply chain. The results show that a successful implementation of a tool or incentives requires accurate advance planning and should include a detailed analysis of the potential impacts and barriers. A mix of complementary policy measures increases the possibility of successful implementation.

Abstract
Preventing and reducing food waste along supply chains is a high priority in many countries. Market based instruments and economic incentives are important tools for stimulating food supply-chain operators and households to food waste prevention and reduction. This study analyses the potential of market based instruments and economic incentives as specific policy measures to prevent and reduce food waste along the whole supply chain. The results show that a successful implementation of a tool or incentives requires accurate advance planning and should include a detailed analysis of the potential impacts and barriers. A mix of complementary policy measures increases the possibility of successful implementation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
