The government will look at ways to extend the shelf life of foods and to create more composting and other facilities, as well as urge companies to donate more food.
Keep edible food out of landfills by increasing shelf life? Presumably if the food is edible by the the time its getting to the landfill then shelf life isn’t the problem.
If the food has longer shelf life, stores can keep the same amount of stock as now and sell everything before it goes bad.
Of course, the easy way would be for stores to not stock as much of food that is likely to go bad before all of it is sold, but then they make less money and also customers would cry that they sometimes can’t get everything they want.
