Project Description

CIBUS aims to reduce food loss/waste across the production and supply chain thanks to increased public capacity to design, implement and monitor integrated, cross-sector and innovation-based policies.

Specific objectives:

  • Create multi-stakeholder platforms (digital/physical) to engage public and private sector, spread knowledge and identify impactful measures;
  • Strengthen capacity for innovation among food chain actors, promoting circularity, cross-sector approaches and new market opportunities;
  • Increase data availability, consistency and transparency and create suitable evaluation frameworks;
  • Define overall strategies to prevent and reduce food loss and waste (including use of bio-waste products), in line with the SDG Target 12.3, and integrate food loss/waste reduction into other policy areas.
