How project innovations are reducing FLW through nine real-life system innovation living labs
Soumya from Digiotouch represented ZeroW at OSPOs for Good symposium in New York and discussed food loss and waste (FLW) data space for the benefit of climate and health.
Open source in the UN system
We are excited to announce that the United Nations (UN) HQ invited our CEO, Soumya Kanti Datta, to participate in the second edition of the OSPOs for Good symposium in New York!
This action symposium served as a high-level coming out party for open source in the UN system, delivering high-level thematic tracks that address key areas of open source policy and highlighting emerging examples of ‘open source for good’ from across the globe. It prominently highlighted the theme of ‘open-source networks as enablers of global cooperation’. In Europe, it is considered as a foundational block in the collaborative EU-funded R&D projects.
Synergized, data-driven, open-source solutions to target FLW problems
Soumya represented ZeroW and discussed its goals, food loss and waste (FLW) data space for the benefit of climate and health. Global FLW is estimated to be roughly one-third of the food intended for human consumption and exacerbates climate change with higher GHG emissions. Faced with such a challenge, the ZeroW project has adopted an open-source, data space-driven approach for achieving near-zero FLW by 2030. Soumya engaged in discussions on how project innovations are reducing FLW through nine real-life system innovation living labs.
The crucial component of this project is the open-source ZeroW data space. It effectively addresses the need to move from today's fragmented solutions targeted at isolated FLW problems to synergized, data-driven, open-source solutions based on shared data, knowledge, and collective intelligence. Thereby, breaking siloed solutions and 'opening' the closed ecosystems.
