France became the first country to legally require large supermarkets to donate unsold but still-edible food to charities instead of throwing it away. The law, in effect since 2016, turned what was once routine destruction into a lifeline for people in need. The impact has been tangible. Less food ends up in landfills. More meals reach families who need them. And supermarkets are forced to rethink waste as a social responsibility, not a disposal problem. It’s a powerful example of what happens when policy is built around people instead of profit. When laws align with basic humanity, the results aren’t symbolic — they’re real, measurable, and life-changing.
