In 2016, the National Food Chain Safety Office initiated the Project Wasteless with the financial support of the European Union’s LIFE Programme, which has been declared the national level food waste prevention programme of Hungary. Since the official project period has arrived to an end, Wasteless team intends to share its most substantial achievements and future plans with the actors and experts on the field of food loss and waste prevention and organize a meaningful discussion as well.
