FRIENDS Reduce Food Waste

As part of the EIT’s Crisis Response Initiative, this activity directly contributes to the European Union’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

FRIENDS Reduce Food Waste will develop an end-to-end pricing solution that is expected to reduce food waste by more than 40%. The solution will be introduced in a German supermarket chain:

• Improving the safety of store operations and limiting staff and customer exposure to COVID
• Improving the resilience of the food system by increasing real-time stock level insights
• Significantly reducing the carbon footprint of food, by preventing food waste
• Passing savings on to (low-income) families and SME-customers
• Making food waste prevention visible and actionable to out-of-home entrepreneurs and consumers
