| Title | When Food Waste Goes to Work A New Flavour for the EU?s Circular Economy |

| Abstract | Food waste is embroiled in a wide array of social efforts and actions in the contem-porary EU. This article considers one site in the EU???s capital where surplus supermarket food that is no longer sellable but is still edible is being used to fuel a job training programme. It argues that, rather than understanding the state???s role in this process as a purely neoliberal tactic or as a capitalist profit-driven action, the repurposing of discarded food in order to create job opportunities and feed new populations has moral contours and enables specific forms of care. |
