NEW ARTICLE 📢 ZeroW: Fighting Food Waste During the Holidays – and Beyond! The holiday season brings joy and celebration but also peaks in food waste. In Denmark alone, households discard 247,000 tons of food annually, with a significant portion wasted during Christmas due to overbuying and overproduction. Reducing food waste requires joint efforts from producers, retailers, and consumers: 1️⃣ Smart Forecasting: Using data to optimize production and stock management. 2️⃣ Retailer Initiatives: Discounting near-expiry goods, donating surplus, and partnering with online platforms, selling surplus to consumers. 3️⃣ "Ugly" Foods & Consumer Education: Selling cosmetically imperfect produce and educating on "use by" vs. "best before" dates. ZeroW, part of the EU’s goal to halve food waste by 2030, collaborates with 42 partners to develop innovative solutions. By measuring waste and testing ideas in Systemic Innovation Living Labs, we aim to eliminate food waste across the entire value chain. Let’s make this holiday season a model for sustainability. Together, we can value food and minimize waste. Read the article ⬇️ or visit our website ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e_X2E_gr for more valuable insights.
