This week, the “AgriFood Lithuania” team participated in a two-day consortium event in Romania, held by the “SoulFood” project partners. We are delighted to be part of such social initiatives in the agrifood sector, as it allows us to address real challenges faced by the entire food chain.
The goal of the “SoulFood” project is to reduce food waste and strengthen the connection between producers and social food distribution initiatives, ensuring that food from primary production is reused for vulnerable groups. Currently, innovative digital tools are being tested to help effectively achieve these goals.
During the consortium, together with our partners, we reviewed the first-year progress of the project – how we are adapting innovative tools to promote more sustainable agricultural and food production, and how we are strengthening the relationship between producers and food distribution initiatives. We also shared key insights and knowledge gained from previous learning events, discussions, and webinars, and outlined the project’s future perspectives.
The “SoulFood” initiative is important not only from an environmental perspective but also from social and economic aspects. We are eager to see the changes it will bring to the agrifood sector.
