#reducefoodwaste competence network for food waste prevention and management
#reducefoodwaste network is established to provide a platform for discussion on current developments in the prevention and management of food waste. The platform aims to identify regional, national and international opportunities for avoiding food waste and present it to its member organizations and individuals as a starting point for joint projects and strategies. Decision-makers should receive valuable input for their work. Specific working groups will develop tailor-made solutions for each link in the entire value chain (production, processing, trade, consumer) and effectively contribute to food waste prevention across the region by supporting and visualizing best practice examples. The annual conferences, meetings, workshops and awards organized within the framework of the project should contribute to the active exchange of all participating organizations and, moreover, effectively involve the whole society.

THE HANDBOOK AIMS TO:
Along the entire food supply chain – in each step and each sector – food is wasted. Food waste is therefore not a problem of one single sector; it is rather the cumulative effect of interlinked conditions. This cross-sectoral cooperation is a core aspect within this handbook.

STREFOWA Videos to raise awareness for food waste
As part as our STREFOWA pilot action our partner Glopolis developed a video to teach children about food waste. As it is a non-verbal communication, it can be used anywhere to raise awareness about food waste. Please just share the video and use it to make kids aware of the entire spectrum of food waste along the supply chain.

Our mission #reducefoodwaste in Europe
Building on previous EU projects to reduce food waste this EU project "STREFOWA" (Strategies to reduce and manage food waste in Central Europe) aims to give an overview of relevant facts as well as best practices and initiatives on reducing food waste in Europe. In eight selected cities some of the “best practice” strategies and practices will be implemented (check out our pilot actions) to avoid food waste and use it better.
Research on how to #reducefoodwaste in Europe: Food Waste Facts
You can only fight the enemy you know. Here you can read or download our research on the Status Quo of food waste, food waste prevention, best practices and initiatives in the Central Europe countries Austria, the Czech Republic, Italy, Hungary and Poland.

Find solutions in the #reducefoodwaste online toolIn the #reducefoodwaste online tool you can find initiatives to reduce food waste in Central Europe. For example, you can filter by country, supply chain or type of initiative. Soon the tool will be available also in German, Italian, Polish, Czech and Hungarian and additional information will be added. Would you like to add a strategy to #reducefoodwaste?

Strategies to #reducefoodwaste
In 16 pilot actions within this STREFOWA project the project partners are creating materials, establishing new food distribution ways and leading awareness raising campaigns to #reducefoodwaste in Central Europe. Find the list of the pilot actions here.
1. Give food waste a second chance: Improve distribution! |
2. Save food, before it becomes waste: Raise awareness! |
3. Make sure that less food waste will end up in residual waste! |
By providing everyone, who wants to reduce food waste with this information:
