After two inspiring editions, the WASTELESS Monthly Café Talks have come to a successful close. Over the past months, our virtual café has become a vibrant space for meaningful conversations, knowledge exchange, and community building around one shared goal: reducing food loss and waste across the entire food system.
These talks offered an exceptional opportunity to dive into fruitful discussions, gain insights from the latest research, and connect directly with leading experts working at the forefront of food loss and waste.

In total, we hosted 18 engaging talks, each shedding light on a unique dimension of the food loss and waste challenge. The café sessions covered a wide variety of topics, including unlocking the value of food loss and waste, exploring innovative tools and methodologies for measurement, best practices for prevention, policy developments, the skills needed and more.
We extend our warmest thanks to all presenters and participants for their enthusiasm, thoughtful contributions, and commitment. Your engagement turned each Friday session into a space filled not only with knowledge, but also with inspiration, making our “Monthly Café Talks” both informative and enjoyable.
Feel free to rewatch, rediscover, or share the sessions with your network, they’re all accessible here.
It was truly a pleasure to share a cup of coffee with you as we worked together towards a more sustainable food system across Europe through a better WASTELESS future.
