Description
The aim of the call is to support stakeholders in the hospitality and food services’ sector to improve measurement of food waste and help implement food waste prevention in their operations and organisations. The sector includes restaurants, hotels and catering services (healthcare, education, canteens, transportation etc.), in both the public and private sphere.
Through this call, the European Commission is looking for solutions that are ready to be implemented by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in close-to-market conditions and at industrial or commercial scale. A wide range of activities are eligible to be supported by the grants offered under this call for proposals, such as integration of food waste prevention in business operations, food waste monitoring programmes, communication materials, development of new business models, training programmes etc.Project proposals should include an initial food waste diagnosis to understand the extent of the issue and should integrate food waste measurement as part of the assessment of the effectiveness of the initiatives proposed.
Budget: €2.250.000
