The PDApp Operational Group will hold three days of dissemination of results
Description
The project “Moving towards a digital model for zero waste in the agri-food sector” developed by the The PDApp Operational Group is now reaching its final phase. To present all the results achieved and milestones reached, it has organized, among other activities, three days of dissemination of results.
These sessions will take place in the next January 29 in Vigo , February 5 in Torre Pacheco (Murcia) and February 12 in Palafolls (Barcelona) .
The sessions are aimed primarily at representatives of entities throughout the value chain, both those that generate food losses and waste, as well as those that receive and recycle them, to promote the adoption of the solutions achieved and encourage their implementation. But also at other interested parties such as innovation and research centres, public administrations and the specialised press.
The workshops will detail the support service developed by the GO PDApp to digitalise the Loss and Waste Prevention Plans and will include first-hand testimonies from companies that are already working with the digital platform created in the project and that facilitates the exchange of surpluses, guaranteeing their traceability. In this way, the benefits of its use to reduce and valorise food losses and waste will be shown. The latest legislative developments regarding the Law on the prevention of food losses and waste will also be reported.
