A new approach to food sustainability
The Sulfood project, which is led by the Diputación de Tarragona, is about to enter its decisive phase. This ambitious effort, which has the collaboration of entities such as the City Council of Reus and the Espigoladors Foundation, seeks to transform the way in which surplus food is managed and distributed in Europe.
Awareness day on food waste
On April 3, the Mas Bové Agricultural School in Constantine will host a day dedicated to awareness of food waste. This activity, organized by the Espigoladores Foundation, is designed to inform and involve the community in the fight against the waste of food.
Papers and colloquis
The session will begin with a presentation by Berta Vidal, who will analyze the food losses in the European and Catalan context. Other organizations involved in the project will then share the advances made from the beginning of the soulfood, highlighting the digital innovations implemented to combat waste.
A digital system to optimize surplus
The day will also address the needs detected between agricultural producers and social organizations. The digital application in the test phase seeks to facilitate the management of food surpluses, ensuring that they reach those who need them most. The first results obtained so far will be discussed, as well as the conclusions of studies on good practices in food redistribution in Europe.
Open to everyone
The event is not only aimed at agri -food producers and social entities, but also invites public administrations, students and volunteers to participate. Registration is available through a link, thus encouraging citizen involvement in this vital cause.
International collaborations
In addition to local activities, international members of the Sulfood project are holding similar meetings in various European countries. Lithuania recently hosted a session, with future meetings scheduled in Greece and Romania, to share knowledge and results in the fight against food waste.
A project with a significant impact
With a budget of more than 800,000 euros, the soulfood is based on technological innovation to link agricultural production with social initiatives. Funded mostly by the European Social Fund Plus, this project seeks not only to reduce waste, but also to improve food sustainability through collaboration between various actors.
Learn from others
Soulfood is divided into four work packages that address various aspects of the project, including coordination, identification of digital solutions, and communication. This multidimensional approach allows partners to learn from international experiences, adapting best practices to local needs.
