Objectives
The SISTERS project aims to reduce food loss and waste in the main stages of the food value chain in Europe through targeted innovations at each stage of the chain:
- Production
- Logistics
- Transformation
- Marketing
- Consumption
New tools for primary producers to promote direct sales and short-circuit sales (farmers); new technological innovations in packaging for processors and retailers; and awareness-raising campaigns on food loss and waste for retailers and consumers.
SISTERS will be a key European project tackling the problem holistically, reducing food loss and waste by 27.4% and CO2 emissions by around 20% in the case studies.
