Today, more than enough food is produced in the world to feed the global population, but despite this, more than 690 million people still remain hungry. The hunger and malnutrition of a part of the world's population remain major challenges for the governments of the countries most affected, but it is also a challenge for the United Nations and international humanitarian organizations. Reducing the share of the poor in a country relies heavily on the strategy of those governments - structural change, social policy, aid to the most deprived, etc. In view of the EU countries - it is a part of the European strategy and largely depends on how individual countries utilize funding from the EU funds such as: Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (FEAD) European Social Fund (ESF), European Globalization Adjustment Fund (EGF). Especially valid in the redistribution of surplus food are food banks whose most important task is to collect food from donors and distribute it to the needy. The European Union countries encourage food donation through tax relief for donors in the form of VAT exemption on donated food, but with the right to recognize input tax on its purchase, i.e., food production and reduce the income tax base by the value of donated food.(original abstract)
