Title: An Epistemology for Food Waste. Interdisciplinary Perspectives

Kind of grant: Exploratory Projects in All Scientific Domains 2024 (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia)

PI email: nicola.piras88@gmail.com

Link or description: An Epistemology for Food Waste: Interdisciplinary Perspectives is a research project addressing the moral and environmental urgency of food waste, which accounts for one-third of global food production (930 million tons annually) and ranks as a top greenhouse gas emitter. The project tackles the challenges of inconsistent definitions and the need for universal criteria by exploring food waste expertise, its moral dimensions, and its social-political implications. Bringing together 12 scholars from the Universities of Minho, Sassari, Milan, UCLA, and Lisbon, it aims to establish a robust epistemological framework for guiding effective reduction strategies.
