Improving food preservation to reduce food waste

Abstract

Treball desenvolupat dins el marc del programa 'European Project Semester'.

The theme and issue of ‘Improving food preservation to reduce food waste’ is associated with all group members participating in this research project. This topic covers multiple processes including purchasing, preserving, preparing and storing food. The industry of fresh fruits and vegetables is an enormous market, which will not disappear any time soon. Food waste is mostly disregarded as fresh fruits and vegetables are mostly inexpensive. All group members believe that this mindset needs to change. This will start with the realisation of people’s consequences and awareness.
