REDONA was presented on March 25 during the 7th edition of the ACIGAS Congress, held at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Gastronomic Sciences of the University of Valencia. The REDONA presentation was part of the congress program, organized by students of the Gastronomic Sciences degree, which brings together experts, students, and professionals from the gastronomic sector every year to reflect on the main challenges in food, sustainability, and health. During the presentation, REDONA was highlighted as a project that aims to provide viable and sustainable solutions to one of the major challenges in the agri-food chain: food waste. Foods that do not progress through the stages of the food supply chain –due to commercial reasons rather than quality issues– represent a real opportunity to be recovered and donated, helping to fight food insecurity and promote social and environmental justice. REDONA aligns with the new national legislative framework, which requires companies and organizations to take active measures to reduce food waste. In this context, the project stands not only as an innovative response but also as a replicable model in other regions committed to sustainability.
