CHORIZO aims to improve the understanding of how social norms influence behaviour and FLW generation and use this knowledge to improve the effectiveness of decision-making and engagement of food chain actors, towards zero food waste.

Objectives

Project´s particular goals are to address existing research gaps and will use its outcomes to deliver and advance innovations helping actors to engage more effectively in food waste prevention and reduction activities

U

Evidence-based analysis

To undertake a comprehensive evidence-
based
analysis of previous/ongoing FLW
prevention/reduction actions and tools,
including a cost/benefit
analysis and an impact assessment.

Food loss & waste Datahub

To develop an FLW Datahub (Chorizo FLW Insighter),
which will incorporate the results of the evidence-based
analysis of previous/ongoing
FLW
actions, new empirical case study evidence on social norms,
consumer behaviour, economic actor behaviour and charity
behaviour in relation to FLW.

Analytics backbone development

To develop a modelling &
predictive
analytics backbone
based on data from the CSs, and
use
it to discover and explain
the correlations between social norms,
business practices, consumer behaviour
and food waste.

Changes in Social norms & behaviours

To foster change in
social
norms and behaviours,
by embedding the new evidence
and understanding gained on
FLW-related social norms
and behaviours.

Project's innovation upscaling

To manage the project’s
innovation upscaling effectively,
by a strategy for the exploitation
of the project results and
implementing responsible innovation
management practices that guide
the project to exploitable and
sustainable outcomes.

Exploitation, dissemination & communication

To undertake appropriate
dissemination, exploitation
and communication actions
to maximise the project’s
impact outside the consortium.

Case 1

Case 2

Hospitality food waste

Case 3

Food services food waste

Case 4
