Zero food waste Vlaanderen

Building a network to fight food waste

There are currently many solutions to food wastage, but this sometimes makes it difficult for a city council, large-scale kitchen or other organisation to see the wood for the trees.

With the Zero Food Waste Flanders project, FoodWIN, together with a number of partner organisations, is developing an innovative cooperation model to tackle food loss effectively. We want to place particular emphasis on connecting organisations with the right experts and solutions, and on making knowledge about the theme of food waste more accessible.

In concrete terms, we want to position ourselves as the central point of contact in the fight against food wastage by organising events and actively participating in projects and consultations. We also want to involve our network of experts as much as possible. We use our position to also put our partners forward, and connect the problem with the right solution or expert. In this way, governments and organisations receive increasingly specialised support to expand their activities around food loss. Furthermore, we want to develop an innovative cooperation model between the leading actors. Finally, we want to make the knowledge in the fight against food waste as accessible as possible. To this end, we are developing an online self-assessment tool.
