Christmas is a time when large amounts of food are prepared and consumed, and thus a large amount of food waste is generated.

Therefore, Zadar Christmas Market was an opportunity to point out the issue of food waste and to raise awareness among HORECA SME who play an important role in food waste production.

As part of the ADVANCE (Erasmus+) project, representatives of the City of Zadar distributed flyers to HORECA SME at Zadar Christmas Market, with practical advice on how to reduce the amount of food waste in all phases of business processes: from procurement and storage to food preparation and serving. Also, HORECA SME were directed to the Internet platform “ADVANCE foodwaste” https://www.advance-foodwaste.eu/, which contains a tool for education on sustainable food waste management.
