Insights from SILL 6: Digital Innovation to Reduce Food Waste in Poultry Processing
Food waste is a major challenge in the poultry industry, where outdated methods and limited digitalization make it difficult to monitor and reduce losses.
Reducing food loss and waste through is no easy task.
That is why 46 partners from 16 countries across the European continent have joined forces and are working together to find new, innovative ways to help the transition of our current food systems in the €12 million EU project ZeroW (2022 - 2025).
The project funded under the Green Deal call of the Horizon Programme 2020 (Grant Agreement no. 101036388).

Food waste is a major challenge in the poultry industry, where outdated methods and limited digitalization make it difficult to monitor and reduce losses.
Food waste is a persistent challenge in Europe, with approximately one-third of the EU's agricultural production discarded as “ugly food” due to imperfections, despite being perfectly edible.
Project partners and SILL4 partners traveled to Barcelona to gain insights into innovative approaches to reducing food loss, redistributing surplus, and fostering sustainability in the food system.
