Commited, collaborative, community, international cooperation, company startups, stakeholders, right direction, unique feature, enthusiasm, innovations, changes, #foodwaste ... #LOWINFOOD has come to an #end🙌🏽Thank you for making this journey so fruitful✨bit.ly/43gJFOG

180 000 tonnes of baked goods are wasted annually in #Sweden🍞Prevention & valorisation strategies have the greatest potential for reducing #foodwaste and #environmentalimpact Valuable study for industry actors, stakeholders, and policymakers. Read it👉🏾 bit.ly/4bdyUP6

🎯#SCENARIO IV: Stakeholder engagement is crucial for creating effective, inclusive and sustainable solutions to complex problems. By involving #stakeholders in a decision-making process, it can build trust and ensure collaborations to #reducefoodwaste🤝 #LOWINFOOD #results

🎯#SCENARIO III: Educational programs at #schools or the use of waste trackers at school #canteens together with mobile apps at #home, can change the behaviour of #consumers and #reducefoodwaste 🏤🍽📲 #pupils #household #LOWINFOOD #results #strengths #weaknesses

Based on the analysis of the #results of the #LOWINFOOD innovations we have identified4️⃣ scenarios to #reducefoodwaste📉 🎯#SCENARIO I: effective & sustainable use of resources to achieve a desired outcome while minimizing waste and #environmentalimpact 🌱 #strengths #weaknesses

This #WomenInScience Day, we’re excited to present the 2024 edition of the #SheFigures! 📊 This report highlights the ongoing gender gaps in R&I and offers solutions for empowering women to lead in research. Discover more and interact with the data on our new webpage 👇

☀️💧🌱To reduce #environmentalimpact the most critical component is the food supply chain. 📲🚚 All innovative action efforts, such as the use of computers, processing or even transport, are insignificant. Avoiding #foodwaste saves a lot of #emissions ☑️ @BOKUvienna @cinea_eu

📣 SAVE THE DATE 📣 📅 24th February 🕑 14:00-17:00 📍 @BOKUvienna in #Vienna The #results of4⃣ #LOWINFOOD innovations against #foodwaste will be presented: ✅ @CogZum ✅#PlateWasteTracker ✅ @unverschwendet ✅#FoodTracks ℹ️bit.ly/3QaUwSx #finalevent

Another barrier identified during the #LOWINFOOD focus groups was the lack of #data to exploit the technology underpinning the innovations. Strategy 6️⃣proposes to introduce #regulations requiring food companies to collect data on #foodwaste 📊

Given the barrier identified with #LOWINFOOD innovators about the lack of #motivation of #citizens, Strategy5️⃣consists in carrying out public #awareness and campaigns targeted at citizens👥(e.g. pilot programmes in school canteens) #foodwaste #policy #recommendations #results

#LOWINFOOD policy & market #recommendations for the diffusion of sustainable and competitive innovations that #reducefoodwaste in real value chains✅ Strategy1️⃣overcomes the barrier of lack of #network among #stakeholders in order to establish efficient production standards🤝
