  • Drivers  for participating in the FOLOU TWRP 

By participating in the FOLOU TWRP in Module 5: The FOLOW Sustainability Tool and Module 6: The FOLOU Learning Centre, we expect to gain essential tools and knowledge to effectively tackle food loss and promote sustainability. Through these modules, we aim to develop structured methods for assessing the environmental, economic, and social impacts of food loss, contributing to data-driven policy development and strategic decision-making. Through the training provided we expect to enhance capacity building through expert-led courses, including certified programs, while also facilitating knowledge exchange through case studies and best practices. Additionally, we look forward to opportunities for networking and collaboration with stakeholders, policy makers, and industry experts, fostering a shared approach to food loss reduction.
