We are looking for: Projects contributing to #reducefoodwaste
The project team of the EU project STREFOWA proudly presents the #reducefoodwaste project award 2018. We are looking for the coolest projects that tackle food waste in Central Europe!
Food waste is one of the big challenges of our time – and the main concern of STREFOWA. Every year around 90 million tonnes of food waste are produced along the entire food supply chain in the EU. STREFOWA is looking at strategies to reduce food waste and successfully prevent it at all levels in Central Europe by defining and testing strategies and promoting successful strategies across borders. Many innovative ideas are already implemented by individuals, groups or companies – in leisure time or as an idea for a company: Cooperations with food banks, app solutions to make shopping easier or to order the remaining portions of a restaurant next door, gleaning actions in neighbor’s garden and many others!
Projects like that play an important role to raise awareness for food waste and to show how to prevent and reduce it.
Practical ideas to #reducefoodwaste
With this award, the project team would like to find out more about ongoing projects in Central Europe and increase the public awareness for these committed food savers.
All NGOs, start-ups, associations and initiatives in Central Europe are invited to submit, who have set a goal with their ongoing project to take a step against food waste.
All submitted projects will be presented online and will take part in the jury and online voting in June 2018.
Winners are Experts
The 3 winners of this award will be invited as experts to join an international meeting of food waste experts in Rimini November 2018. With their project presentation they enrich the meeting and further discussions between all participants. Their invitation includes travel expenses and two overnight stays in Rimini, as well as the chance to visit the ECOMONDO.
