Isola Bella Jewels against food waste

Knowing Not to Waste: Fighting Food Waste Squared for Healthy Food, Sustainable Spending, and a Better Environment“: this is the theme of a conference to be held on Saturday, Nov. 27 at 4 p.m. at MAAS, Ingrosso Sicilia in Catania, with Isola Bella Gioielli participating as a partner.

The meeting – which is part of the initiatives of the European Waste Reduction Week and was set in the National Food Collection Day – aims to emphasize the food waste theme, understood both as the waste of food still suitable for eating and from the side of extra food, and its consequences for the environment, health and the economy.

The problem of unbalanced spending and correlations with obesity and other diseases, with related impacts on the National Health System, will be discussed, as well as the role that Universities and Associations can play in raising awareness on the ground through information and initiatives. The event was sponsored by Rotary District 2110, AIAT – Association of Environmental and Land Engineers, and Food Bank.

At the end of the event, it will also be possible to visit the MAAS Food Bank’s new warehouse and thus understand the importance of the association to the community.
