Reducing food waste due to marketing standards through alternative market access

Rosetta is a 3-year EU funded project that aims to assess the impact of marketing standards on food waste and propose sustainable solutions for the utilization of the food that does not meet marketing standards but is still safe to be consumed. Rosetta will:

a. Evaluate the effect of marketing standards on the generation of food waste
b. Define and implement pilot case scenarios, disseminating the solutions for alternative market access of suboptimal food
c. Provide relevant suggestions to food businesses, owners of marketing standards and policymakers
