Have you ever studied a raspberry close up?
A raspberry is made up of many tiny bead-like fruits called "drupelets" clustered around a core. Each drupelet contains one seed, and an average raspberry has 100 to 120 seeds.

Selma Seddik, founder of Instock: "Food waste is a huge problem. In the world we throw away 1/3 of everything we produce. And that is a terrible waste of raw materials and CO2 emissions".

At Eosta we also have to throw away fruit or vegetables sometimes. The main reason for this is the different requirements that products have to meet. Nature & More takes its own responsibility and is making an effort to find a good destination for "waste". To do so, we work together with many wonderful charities, social enterprises and Instock.

With this action plan, we as the central government set out the ambition to substantially increase organic production and consumption. The actions are a starting point to work together with chain parties. 

This is a prerequisite and therefore this action plan is structured along three goals:
