Reduce food waste: A key to sustainability

Food waste is a major problem in Switzerland: around 2.8 million tons of edible food are lost every year. This not only causes unnecessary costs, but also has a considerable impact on the environment. By avoiding food waste, considerable amounts of resources and CO2 emissions can be saved.

This course shows how food waste can be reduced along the entire value chain - from the field to the plate.

Target groups

The project is primarily aimed at apprentices and teachers in basic vocational training as well as professionals in the food and catering industry. The course is also suitable for interested private individuals who would like to expand their knowledge of food waste and apply practical solutions to reduce it.
