As part of the project implementation Fusilli, and in cooperation with the City of Rijeka as a project partner, this Friday, 11 Octoberthe Torpedo Production Park in 2024 (Milutina Barača 60, Rijeka) we are organizing an event with the beginning at 2 p.m. where you have the opportunity to find out what Rijeka is doing to meet the challenge of reducing food waste.
Every year, 1.3 billion tonnes of food are wasted in the world, 57 million tonnes in the European Union. Croatian citizens throw away 129,616 tons of edible food while 86,726 tons of inedible food are thrown away. Croatia has set a target to reduce food waste by 30 by 2028 %.
Join us and find out how, with limited resources, rising prices and too much waste to handle, it is increasingly difficult to change habits and not throw away food, but to deal with it differently.
In addition to presenting the results of an interesting research spent among our fellow citizens, a cookbook will be presented at the event Sustainable Tastes and Sustainable Budst, application Food Waste Analyzer and Food Waste Reduction Guide.
The event is free for all participants but the number of seats is limited so registration is mandatory! You can complete the application via online forms!
