Happy to share that the first paper of my PhD project got published! Our research focuses on the issue of household food waste. In this paper, we show that planning helps to generate healthy, affordable meal plans with zero waste. Moreover, we stress the importance of considering greenhouse gas emissions alongside food weight as a performance indicator for tackling food waste.

On January 24th our partner ASINCAR organized a workshop where different digital solutions for improving the efficiency and the control of food processing operations were presented. In this context, ASINCAR showed different applications based on the use of portable NIR (Near Infrarred Spectroscopy) that are currently under development, including the ZeroW project where is looking for a portable, easy to use device for the control of food quality critical points in a poultry factory. +50 people participated in the workshop with representation of food industries, ICT companies and relevant regional stakeholders.

𝐔𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐥𝐠𝐚𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞! Looking for innovative solutions to combat food waste in retail? Check out this exciting project aiming to turn retail food waste into high-value micro-algae feed - using a pre-treatment process that turns retail waste into high-value micro-algae feed. By using a drying machine to create a dehydrated powder, this waste can be used to supplement microalgae production, which has potential applications in biopolymers and cosmetic production. Not only is this a circular economy approach, but it also has the potential to cover the corresponding costs and ensure economic feasibility. With collaboration from MC Sonae, Universidade do Minho and Allmicroalgae a cohesive process plan is being developed. Let's work towards a circular economy and reduce global food waste!
