EELISA Food Bank: Rational Food Consumption

Our aim is to prevent food waste by raising awareness and inform about the correct acquisition of food and subsequent consumption. Important key elements to achieve this are: training and educational cooperation at school and university level through activities in schools, institutes and UPM centres, the analysis of the work of Food Banks through the preparation of reports that serve to educate and raise awareness in society as well as dissemination and transfer of knowledge through curricular internships in the Food Banks, seminars, projects and final projects for bachelor’s and master’s degrees.
