Welcome to CHORIZO Food Loss and Waste (FLW) Datahub and “Insighter”

The CHORIZO project (Changing practices and Habits through Open, Responsible, and social Innovation towards ZerO food waste) aims to improve the understanding of how social norms influence behavior and food waste (FW) generation and use this knowledge to improve the effectiveness of decision-making and engagement of food chain actors, towards zero food waste.

The CHORIZO FLW Datahub and “Insighter”, composed of three data layers, each with a specific data exploitation plan.

The CHORIZO FLW Datahub and “Insighter” contains data of previous and on-going actions that tackle(d) FLW along the various stages of the food supply chain, empirical data from six case studies (household, hospitality, restaurants, school, food banks, and supermarkets), and the insights generated from these data. These insights are destined to enable effective decision-making by stakeholders in the food chain.
