For people that want to contribute to lowering those numbers I can recommend the "Too good to go" app.
It allows shops to get rid of food that would usually go to waste at the end of the day and be thrown out otherwise. Especially bakeries are a good example here. It doesn't always work great, some sellers try to cheat the system into something that it is not, but most are thankfully genuine.
