The European project “Food Systems in European Cities” (FoodE) involving ICTA-UAB researchers is organising its 2nd FoodE Summer School "Zero-Waste CRFS”. This event has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 862663.

Date: June 9th and 10th
Time: (9:00 – 17:30)
Registration is now open here


Around 26% of the global greenhouse gas emissions come from food (Poore & Nemecek, 2018). However, this fraction of the pie it is not efficient: around 23% of food-related emissions correspond to food that is actually not eaten, either lost in supply chains or disposed as waste by consumers. FAO (2011) quantified that one-third of all food produced in the world for human consumption never reaches the consumer’s table. If we would consider “Food Wastage” a country, it would be the third largest emitting country in the world (FAO, 2013).

FOOD SUMMER SCHOOL DAY 2


Day 3: Homework

Each student will work on an individual project based on a CRFS from their city (or from a nearby city). The project will be submitted before July 11th, 2022 to the following mail: marti.rufi@uab.cat. The maximum length of the project will be 3 pages (including figures and tables).

  • Page 1 will include the student’s information (name and university) and a broad characterisation o the CRFSI under study, including but not limited to geographical location, category (e.g. livestock farming, agricultural crops, restaurant, food processing, etc.) or educational activities for the local community.
  • Page 2 will include an analysis of the current state of the CRFSI under study in terms of zero waste practices.
  • Page 3 will include a draft of potential strategies that could be applied to the CRFSI under study and that would contribute to zero waste. The discussion of strategies can include (but are not limited) their viability, the degree of contribution to zero waste, costs, potential contributions to specific impact categories, etc.
