Within the Interreg Alpine Space CEFoodCycle project, several publications have been realised up to date. In this news article, you will find an overview of all current publications:
This review provides a concise introduction and overview on Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) Studies on food waste and food products.
This brochure is written with the intent to convey key insights into strategies to minimise food waste and to understand the key stake-holders in the food value stream in the partici-pating countries. Based on a desk research phase between January and November 2023, some key figures are presented regarding the food market structure in the Alpine Region. Furthermore, best practices of companies that use food waste as a resource are presented and circular food hubs shortly introduced.
To assess the different practices and contexts within agricultural systems, relevant for environmental footprinting, a comparison of national and regional data was conducted as part of the project CEFoodCycle. While previous studies have highlighted the global significance of food waste and the multiple benefits of transitioning to a Circular Economy, there is a lack of detailed analysis focusing on how regional variations in the food value chain impact LCA metrics within the Alpine region. Part 1 focuses on Agriculture.
…and Part 2 focuses on Processing and Retail.
541 professionals within the gastronomy sector (cafés, hotels and restaurants) were interviewed within the French Circular Food Hub in order to better estimate the biowaste production of their establishments, identify notable actions in the management and recovery of biowaste and to uncover barriers and constraints to implementing the actions of biowaste recovery.
