The Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Luis Planas, presented Spain’s sustainable food model as a strategic priority for the Spanish Government. Planas stressed that the Food Loss and Waste Prevention Law, approved in April of this year, “is a model for raising awareness across society about the value of food.” He described it as a pioneering law “focused on prevention, awareness and the training of all actors in the food chain.”

Luis Planas took part in the High-Level Ministerial Panel “Preventing Food and Water Waste – Protecting Our Future”, held in Istanbul and organised by the Zero Waste Foundation and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Türkiye, together with ministers from 15 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. In his address, Planas explained that Spain has consolidated a food model recognised for its quality, safety and innovation, “but also for its ability to adapt to the challenges of the 21st century.”
