Innovations for Zero Food Loss & Waste

Why ZeroW?

Climate change. Food insecurity. A fragile global food system. All these challenges are worsened by food loss and waste.

If we want to sustainably feed a growing world population, we need to start by tackling food loss and waste - all the way from farm to fork. That is what the ZeroW project is about.
