The webinar aimed to raise awareness about the general issue of food waste, provide actionable guidance for stakeholders, and showcase effective practices for reducing food waste. More specifically, the aim was to:
- Global and Sectoral Impact of Food Waste: Provide an understanding of the environmental, economic, and social impacts of food waste globally and within the tourism sector.
- Strategies for Reduction: Highlight effective strategies for food waste reduction at different stages of the tourism food value chain, including procurement, inventory management, menu planning, and waste management.
- Case Studies and Best Practices: Share successful examples from the tourism sector where food waste management practices have led to significant improvements in sustainability and operational efficiency.
- Policy and Industry Actions: Examine how national tourism policies can evolve to prioritize sustainable food management and waste reduction.
By sharing insights and perspectives, representatives from Food In Action of Sweden AB, UN Tourism, European Commission (DG GROW), HOTREC, Fotografiska Tallinn, Zangerle Küchenconsulting and the International Food Waste Coalition discussed and presented actions and successful examples of food waste management practices.
More information about the discussion and key conclusions are presented in the Webinar Summary. Below you can also find the final agenda and the presentations made by speakers during the webinar.
