Steps in the right direction, however, are being taken with the Nordic countries as frontrunners on the journey towards zero food waste and boasting a great array of initiatives to minimise waste and develop and implement circular economy models and more sustainable solutions.
Project purpose and goals
Nordic Council of Ministers office in Lithuania, the Danish Embassy in Vilnius and the Danish Cultural Institute in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, Farmers Circle and other partners are cooperating to launch a series of events on waste reduction and circular production in the restaurant and food sector. The events include a conference, a gourmet dining experience and a masterclass. All will have a strong emphasis on international cooperation and the sharing of Nordic and Baltic competencies and knowledge.
The project aims to shed light on the immense issue of unsustainable food systems and provide chefs and other stakeholders with tools to reduce food waste in their work.
Project target groups
Green Tables aims to reach and involve a broad range of experts and actors working in the restaurant and food sector, including chefs, policy makers, NGO and business representatives, academics as well as students and apprentice chefs.
