WP2 Systems

Understanding and optimizing waste and resource flows in the food system.

Mapping the system

To transition toward a circular food economy, it is essential to map, analyze, and optimize how food waste and by-products are generated, processed, and repurposed. WP2 focuses on identifying inefficiencies, resource recovery pathways, and key intervention points to help industries and policymakers design closed-loop food systems.

Key Focus Areas:

  • Mapping food loss and waste streams across the supply chain

  • Developing models for circular food system design

  • Creating a framework for waste-to-value integration

  • Optimizing logistics and food flow networks
