The EU-funded FOLOU project aims to challenge the issue of food loss (FL) in primary production. It will set a forceful, coherent multidisciplinary approach to set up a mechanism allowing a change based on monitoring and measuring. The aim is to build an understanding of the impact of FL. The action plan will include a knowledge transfer to primary producers, retailers, consumers, policymakers and researchers that will enable the implementation of proposed recommendations leading to a reduction of food loss.
The Folou project aims to:
• Develop standardized methodology for the measurement of food losses
• Develop innovative tools to facilitate food loss measurement
• Develop a national and eu food loss registry framework
• Food loos learning center
• Actions to facilitate the adoption oof the FOLOU outputs
The outputs of the project consist in:
• a methodology for food loss measurement
• a registry for food loss registry
• new food loss sustainability tools
• innovative solutions (auv, ia, etc.) for food loss measurements
• a food loss learning centre
