El propósito del presente trabajo es analizar las iniciativas que está llevando a cabo el sector de la distribución en torno a la reducción del desperdicio alimentario. Se pretende realizar una recopilación de buenas prácticas del sector minorista a través del estudio de los principales determinantes del desperdicio alimentario y análisis del mismo en la cadena de suministro. Todo ello con el fin de analizar los efectos económicos, medioambientales y políticos que conllevarían estas nuevas prácticas, así como el grado de implicación real del sector de la distribución en el problema.
