It supports the monitoring progress towards the WFD\u2019s food waste reduction targets, due by 31 December 2030: a 10% reduction in food waste from processing and manufacturing, and a 30% per capita reduction across retail, food distribution, restaurants, food services and households. The methodology identifies potential shortfalls early and enables corrective action by applying \u2018success\/risk factors\u2019 (SRFs) that influence target achievement. Each SRF is assessed qualitatively for data robustness, while numerical data relies on Eurostat\u2019s validation and quality checks. The publication also evaluates each Member State\u2019s progress towards meeting the targets."}
