As can be seen, the average number of meals served per year per 1,000 inhabitants varies between 217 and 335 (excluding Finland as an outlier), whereas the number of food bags delivered per 1,000 inhabitants varies between 17 in Sweden and 522 in Finland. Large cities have traditionally a higher share of low income people and social clients than smaller cities and rural areas. Better organisation and clear guidelines from the food authorities nationally will make it more acceptable for the food industry and retail companies to donate food, and realise the big potential for redistribution.
