Content: until 25 September to participate in the call launched by the European Health and Digital Agency (HADEA) in the framework of the Single Market Program (SMP) with the 
aim of combating food waste by consumers. The call supports sector stakeholders in adopting actions aimed at combating consumer food waste (both at home and away from home, 
for example in schools, canteens, restaurants, etc.) and finances the following categories of activities (non-exhaustive list) :
    behavioral change interventions (e.g. to stimulate food waste prevention at consumer level such as specific tools and suggestions for families and for catering services, 
coaching programs, etc.);
    education and training (e.g. school programmes, staff training and actions in school canteens);
    awareness campaigns (on a local, regional or national scale);
    measurement and reporting tools and solutions to prevent food waste at the consumer level (e.g. mobile applications and other monitoring tools in addition to self-reporting);
    studies, data collection and experimental actions that broaden the evidence base for consumer food waste prevention interventions (e.g. audience segmentation studies
 to better personalize and target actions).

The proposed actions should go beyond providing information to consumers and focus on supporting their behavioral change; initiatives can combine awareness raising with practical
 tips and tools. The grant covers up to 50% of eligible costs (the Commission awaits projects with a budget of approximately between 100,000 and 300,000 euros)

Project duration: 18-24 months
