WASTELESS project will host a series of Monthly Café Talks to engage with all stakeholders in the food value chain on topics related to Food Loss and Waste (FLW). ‘We could not be more excited to start the interactions with our community members and engage with all interested stakeholders through the WASTELESS Monthly Café Talks. Drink your coffee with us and discuss about your topic of interest related to FLW!‘ says Luminita Ciolacu, Project manager at ISEKI Food Association, part of the organisation team.
The Monthly Café Talks are aimed at encouraging, through active exchange of views and the best practices on FLW measuring, monitoring and valorisation strategies between all food value chain actors, from primary producers to consumers, policy makers, researchers and others. We are expecting an inspiring share of information on their needs, expectations, and topics of interest. Experts will be invited to share their perspectives, achievements and challenges encountered and answer questions from the participants.
The official launch will be on Friday 19th, of April 2024, at 11:00 CET with Prof. Ana Barros (UTAD), WASTELESS Coordinator, to debate on the topic: Unlocking Value of FLW! The discussion will cover strategies for repurposing by-products into valuable ingredients and pioneering new food concepts, emphasizing the economic and environmental advantages of these practices, embracing a circular economy approach.
The meetings are free and open to all. Register here to join!
