About the dinner, Selina Juul said: “I am really happy and honored that HE the France Ambassador to Denmark Caroline Ferrari and The French Embassy will host the successful Annual International Stop Wasting Food Dinner – and I look forward to a good collaboration. It is very positive that France is stepping up its focus on food waste at this important event. It is gratifying to see that the focus on this important issue is growing across countries and nationalities.”

About hosting the dinner, the Ambassador of France to Denmark said: “About a third of the food we produce every year in the world is wasted. This is contrary to our vision of a sustainable food system as well as to Agenda 2030 and the World Goals. For years, France has been a leader in food waste control. However, no one can break the basket alone. We need the support of all stakeholders: governments, businesses, charities and consumers. Therefore, it is a real honor and a privilege for the French Embassy to host the Annual International Stop Wasting Food Dinner and assist Selina Juul and her association Stop Wasting Food Movement in their unique efforts to put focus on food waste and create change.”
