OUR SOLUTION
IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
People:
Aims to inspire people to live healthier
sustainable lives without wasting food
(workshops to nudge eco-behaviour)
Planet:
Take care of the earth together by reducing
food waste and its CO2
(introducing calculators for food waste
impact and management)
Profit:
Collaborate with the stakeholders to
increase economic opportunities (Training +
skills development) and financially sustain
this project (funding strategy)
