A recent report ranks France the top country in the world in methods of food sustainability. The Food Sustainability Index rates countries on how they deal with food-related issues including nutrition, agriculture methods and food waste. The Barilla Center for Food & Nutrition published the report. The index rated 34 countries. Japan, Germany, Spain, and Sweden, followed France to complete the top five spots. Portugal, Italy, South Korea and Hungary were also among the countries rated in the top fourth. Vytenis Andriukaitis is the European Union’s Commissioner for Health and Food safety. He spoke at the release of the Index on Tuesday. He said it is unethical and immoral to waste resources when hundreds of millions of people go hungry across the world. He added, we are all responsible, every person and every country.
