Twinning Regions Programme Webinar

Discover the FOLOU Twinning Regions Programme, an EU-funded initiative designed to reduce food loss in primary production.

The FOLOU project partners invite you to a webinar on setting up Twinning Regions, as part of the project objectives.

This webinar aims at:

• regional public authorities
• fishermen, farmers and farmers’ associations
• knowledge and research centers engaged in agriculture and fisheries

During this webinar, the FOLOU project partners will present their Twinning Regions Program, what the program is about, how it is structured, why it is beneficial for your regions and their actors to join the program, and what kind of activities you can expect to perform if you are selected as a FOLOU Twinning Region.

The Twinning Regions Programme is an initiative promoted by the FOLOU project partners to help European regions and their actors tackle the challenge of food losses detection, quantification and reporting in the primary production sector.

In a recent publication, the Joint Research Center of the European Commission has estimated that about 25M tons of food were lost at the primary production stage in 2020 across the EU-27. This equates to 57 kg/person per year. At the same time, with the recently approved European Climate Law, the intermediate green house gas emission reduction targets for 2030 has been increased, calling for an increased effort in emissions reduction from the agricultural sector if we are to reach the goal of a climate neutral Europe by 2050.

Register now for the meeting on 29 October 2024 and get ready to address the challenge of food loss in your region!

Following registration, you will receive detailed information on how to join the webinar.
