Several key issues in the implementation of the Anti-foodWaste Law of the People's Republic of China

《中华人民共和国反食品浪费法》(以下简称《反食品浪费法》)的颁布实施,使长期以来中国反对食物浪费实现了由道德约束到法制治理的历史性转变。该法律是在当今世界食物浪费现象普遍、威胁全球粮食安全和中国政府高度重视食物浪费问题的背景下颁布的,意义重大。这部法律为中国反食物浪费社会实践提供了法律保证,也为全球反食物浪费事业提出了中国答案。《反食品浪费法》具有注重顶层设计、立法过程快捷简明,立法目的鲜明、节约资源融贯始终,法律措施全面、规制责任主体广泛,社会多元共治、凸显节粮治理效能,依法施策、致力于服务粮食安全战略,坚持德法并举、推动节粮意识转为法律约束等显著特点。从一年来的实践看,《反食品浪费法》在实施中,目前仍需解决进一步厘清权责、细化标准体系和加强基础支撑等关键问题,有关部门应着重通过采取建立长效监测评估机制、构建科学有效的监测评估方法体系和加强相关部门协同联动等措施,规范和指导《反食品浪费法》落地实施,充分发挥其规制和规范全社会各种各样食物浪费行为的作用,有效减少食物浪费,保障国家粮食安全,助推生态文明和社会文明建设。

The promulgation and implementation of the Anti-food Waste Law of the People’s Republic of China(abbreviated as "Anti-food Waste Law" below) has made a historic shift from moral constraints to legal governance in China’s long-standing anti-food waste. The law was promulgated under the background that food waste is common worldwide nowadays, it threatens global food security, and the solution to this problem has been attached great importance in China. The law provides a legal guarantee for the social practice of anti-food waste in China, and also sets a good example for the global anti-food waste career. The Antifood Waste Law has the following six main characteristics: it focuses on top-level design and the legislative process is fast and concise;the legislative purpose is clear and the idea of resource conservation is consistent in the legislation;the legal measures are comprehensive and the regulatory responsibilities are extensive;the society is diversified and co-governed to highlight the efficiency of grain saving governance;the policy is implemented following the law and committed to serving the food security strategy;adhering to both morality and law to promote the transformation of food saving awareness into legal constraints. Judged from the practice of the past year, in the implementation of the Anti-food Waste Law, key issues such as further clarifying rights and responsibilities, refining the standard system and strengthening basic support still need to be resolved. Relevant departments should focus on taking the following measures to standardize and guide the implementation of the Anti-food Waste Law:establishing a long-term monitoring and assessment mechanism, building a scientific and effective monitoring and assessment method system;strengthening the linkage between relevant departments, etc. Giving full play to the role of the law in regulating various food waste behaviors in the whole society, thus effectively reducing food waste, ensuring national food security, and promoting the construction of ecological civilization and social civilization.
