LOWINFOOD
The project participated to the Food Waste Avoidance Conference 2024
AREFLH is a partner of LOWINFOOD, a project that focuses on “Multi-actor design of low-waste food value chains through the demonstration of innovative solutions to reduce food loss and waste”. LOWINFOOD supports the reduction of the loss and waste in the European Union by demonstrating innovative solutions following a multi-actor approach along the entire value chain.
Within the framework of the project the FH Munster University of Applied Science (ISUN) attended the Food Waste Avoidance Conference 2024 in Düsseldorf, Germany. The event was organized by the Ministry of the Environment, Nature, and Transport of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia. Its catphrase is "“Appreciate food – Avoid waste”
At the conference, different people from various start-ups, city administration, volunteer work, and research met to discuss and find solutions together. Dr Christina Strotmann presented the LOWINFOOD project as well as her viewpoint on the food waste problem during a panel discussion. Further, other participants met the team at the LOWINFOOD stand.
Christina Strotmann made an interestin reflection : “Isn’t it absurd? On the one hand, saving food waste can help nurture the ones in need. On the other hand, the ones that seem to have enough and too much wealth waste food regularly. While many initiatives, often led by volunteers, provide for those facing food insecurity utilizing food waste, the abundance must be restricted. Because anything abundant is easily wasted. We need more quality in place of quantity”.
