RESULTS

Result 1: FoodWaste Transnational research

The project Result 1 involves a comprehensive analysis of food waste, employing a collaborative approach among project partners. The methodology consists of three main components:

R1/A1 Methodology of the analysis:

Defining work division and a timeline.
Creating templates for a common approach.
Gathering feedback from partners and adapting templates.
Developing instructional materials for teachers and students on food waste and the food supply chain.
Creating materials for data collection on food waste causes and good practices.
Investigating various aspects of food waste, including consumer, producer, and distributor perspectives, habits, attitudes, good practices, and food security knowledge.

R1/A2 Conduction of the analysis at school level:

Selecting teachers and students based on criteria like motivation, knowledge, and skills.
Students collect best practices and conduct interviews with supply chain representatives.
Data from interviews is included in national and transnational reports.

R1/A3 Conduction of the analysis at Partner level:

Organizing national focus groups with supply chain representatives.
Collecting data and conducting field research.
Collecting best practices and writing national focus group reports.
Compiling all findings into a common transnational report.

The methodology employs Experiential Based Learning (EBL), providing flexibility for participants to explore different aspects of food waste based on their interests. Partners and teachers support students by offering guidance and resources. The project aims to generate valuable insights into food waste and promote effective strategies to reduce it.
