REDONA stands out at the XVII Setmana de l’Economia d’Alzira as a benchmark in the fight against food waste

On February 17, 2025, the REDONA project took part in the round table titled “The value of surplus: strategies against food waste”, held at the Casa de la Cultura in Alzira as part of the XVII Setmana de l’Economia, organized by IDEA Alzira. The event brought together experts from academia and the agri-food sector to discuss innovative solutions to reduce food waste.

During the session, Francesc J. Cervera Ferrer, representing the Universitat Politècnica de València, presented REDONA as a pioneering technological tool that facilitates the recovery and redistribution of discarded fruits and vegetables at Mercavalència. His presentation addressed the causes of food waste in the fruit and vegetable market, the legal framework, the social and environmental benefits of the project, and the challenges and opportunities for its future expansion.

The round table also featured contributions from M.ª Ángeles Fernández Zamudio (UPV) and Cirilo Arnandis (Cooperatives Agroalimentàries of the Valencian Community), and was moderated by journalist Lluch García Garay. The event highlighted the importance of initiatives like REDONA in building more sustainable and resilient food systems.
