LOWINFOOD. Multi-actor design of low-waste food value chains through the demonstration of innovative solutions to reduce food loss and waste. GA No. 101000439. D1.1 Methodological framework

The methodology for the evaluation of LOWINFOOD’s innovations has been elaborated in a multi-actor approach. This deliverable explains the process of setting the methodology, the framework of the innovations (value chain maps, type of food waste) as well as the roadmap for data collection (type and source of data, collection method, identification of data facilitators and collectors). A set of indicators has been identified focusing on the three dimensions for the evaluation: efficacy, socio-economic impacts, and environmental impacts. This deliverable has been elaborated in close cooperation with the task leader teams of WP1: BOKU, UNIBO and JHI. The content of this deliverable has been shared and revised with the External Advisory Board as well as other research partners of LOWINFOOD.
