REFRESH is pleased to announce that online registration is now available for the Food loss and waste reduction and management course that we have co-created with the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Zaragoza (IAMZ-CIHEAM) and the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA).
 

Every year around the globe 1.3 billion tonnes of food is lost or wasted. This equates to 1/3 of all food produced for human consumption.

The course aims to:

  • Identify the causes and hot spots of food loss and waste.
  • Discover the main actors and their initiatives (FAO, WRI, EU, voluntary agreements, etc.)
  • Learn about public and private actions to reduce food loss and waste.
  • Work with quantitative and qualitative assessment tools in different scenarios.
  • Connect with professionals from other countries and brainstorm to propose new ideas.
  • Raise public awareness about the importance of reducing loss.

 

Please visit the course website to register and for more information about the course lecturers and the course timetable. Programme and brochure downloads are available in 3 languages.
