LIFE FOSTER PROJECT

Training, education and communication to reduce waste in the food sector.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM

The amount of food that gets thrown away each year could be produced from a country bigger than China: these are the proportions of food waste in the world. 

The food sector contributes to this waste with 10.5 million tonnes – equal to 21 kilograms per European citizen each year. This means that the food sector accounts for 12% of the total amount of food waste (FP7 “FUSIONS” Project, Stime 2012).

TEAM

The project brings together some of the most active protagonists in the sectors of research, vocational training and food industry. The partners will develop training models, as well as disseminate information and the activities carried out.
Vocational training centres:

ENAIP NET Impresa Sociale (Italy),

Agence nationale pour la formation professionnelle des adultes – AFPA (France),

Confederación Española de Centros de Enseñanza – CECE (Spain),

Institute of Tourism Studies – ITS (Malta)

Food industry and trade associations:

Federazione Italiana Cuochi – FIC (Italy),

Malta Business Bureau – MBB (Malta)

Scientific partner :
Università degli Studi di Scienze Gastronomiche – UNISG (Italy)

THE ACTIVITIES

The project develops integrated initiatives, whose results will be promoted by the project partners in regional, national and European contexts:

  1. Training of 410 trainers coming from 4 European countries (IT, FR, ES, MT): their task will be to focus on and operationally describe food waste prevention techniques;
  1. Development of a functional method to monitor and evaluate food waste reduction and to measure the project’s impact;
  2. Transfer of food waste reduction techniques to approximately 6,700 VET students in 4 European countries;
  3. Student participation to apprenticeships and on-the-job training opportunities involving approximately 3,600 enterprises and 100,00 food sector operators
  4. Organisation of 16 booths in specialised fairs all over Europe (with 100,000 potential visitors), of 6 technical seminars and practical activities for cooks (approx. 1,200 people involved);
  5. Creation of 4 national (IT, FR, ES, MT) meetings with institutional guests;
  6. Production of promotional and awareness-raising materials on the issue;
  7. Networking with other LIFE projects dealing with the same topics,  and organisation of networking events.

REDUCING WASTE IN THE FOOD SECTOR IS POSSIBLE WITH A SIMPLE, SUSTAINABLE AND REPLICABLE ANSWER: TRAINING & EDUCATION.
