## Historic developments of Dutch household food waste  The latest figures to estimate on the quantities of  Dutch household food waste are available for the years 2010 and 2013 \cite{van_westerhoven_bepaling_2013}.   They show that between 2010 and 2013 household food waste  quantities did not change significantly.   The uncertainty margins are larger than the measured differences.   In 2010, 37 kilograms of avoidable (=edible) food products  were calculated found  in 2013.  On a per capita basis, households the residual and organic  waste about 14 percent (47 kilograms, 150 Euro) of their stream.  The unavoidable (inedible) fraction amounted to 29 kilograms.  Taking together avoidable  food purchases annually \cite{vanwesterhoven_bepaling_2013}.  Of these, 68 percent (32 kilograms) are disposed in waste from  the residual and gft (organic) organic stream with alternative routes (e.g. toilette, kitchen sink), the total number of avoidable food waste was 48 kilograms.  In 2013, avoidable food  waste streams, 32 percent (15 kilograms) found  in the kitchen sink \cite{vanwesterhoven_bepaling_2013,Sevenster2010-cq}.  The most frequently disposed products are dairy products (26%), bread (18%), vegetables (11%), fruit (10%), sauces and fats (7%), potatoes (7%), meat (7%), rice and pasta (4%), cake organic  and biscuits (3%), and meal leftovers (1%) \cite{vanwesterhoven_bepaling_2013}.  These numbers make households the single-largest wasters along residual stream was 35 kilograms.   The unavoidable fraction amounted to 30 kilograms.  Taking together  the entire food supply chain avoidable waste  witha share of 38 percent, followed by agricultural producers (23%),  the hospitality industry (14%), alternative routes, total avoidable food waste amounted to 47 kilograms.   Thus, avoidable food waste found in  the processing and storage industry (12%), supermarkets and retailers (9%), residual  and organic stream reduced by 5.41% in 2013 compared to 2010;  the food industry (5%) \cite{Lipinski2013-gm}.  TODO: read report   These quantities have a large associated environmental impact, expressed unavoidable fraction increased  by 32 ReCiPe[^3] points per person per year \cite{Sevenster2010-cq}.  [^3] This calculation combines food-related land use, greenhouse gases, and energy consumption.  ReCiPe is a life cycle impact assessment method that harmonizes different impacts into a unified indicator \cite{goedkoop2009recipe}.  Meat, **TODO: cold cuts**, milk and dairy products, vegetables, and rice have 3.45%;  the largest environmental impact \cite{Sevenster2010-cq}. total amount of avoidable food waste decreased by 2.08%.  TODO: share westerhoven/bosbrouwers
