In the period between 2018 and 2021, the team of WSS Effect and of Food Bank MK in particular, conducted numerous activities aimed at creating preconditions for an organized campaign and action for reducing the amount of food disposed of at landfills. The activities were realized with the participation and engagement of: • 18 civil society organizations from more than 11 municipalities on the overall territory of the country; • The European Federation of Food Banks (FEBA); • The Food Banks from the region, from Eastern and Central Europe; • More than 20 educational institutions within the country; • More than 1500 children, pupils and students; • Teachers, professors, experts and practitioners from diverse areas. In the course of the months of November and December 2020, youths were invited to contribute to the debate on the topic of ‘How to Prevent Food Waste’. This very publication puts forward their ideas, as well as the ideas and experiences of the two participating kindergartens. The call for best ideas was publicly published and forwarded to the primary schools and kindergartens on the territory of three municipalities in Skopje, including to state and private universities. The objective that the team aspires to attain via the call and the publication is initiation of social and societal changes, in addition to reminding the youths that 1) they are to be consulted, 2) they are to be heard and 3) they are to be engaged in the decision making process with reference to any topics that are of relevance for the sustainable development since it will remain their legacy and responsibility in the future. 7 Matea Stoev, aged 15 Private Secondary School Yahya Kemal – Struga CATERING FACILITIES AS ‘GOOD HOSTS’ AND ‘HUMANE FACILITIES’ The catering facilities due to their scope of work are a significant element in the link ‘generators of potential food waste’. There are a number of causes that contribute to this phenomenon: irrationally placed orders, improper handling of groceries, improper planning in terms of the meals made, etc. Provided that their owners and managers change their perception and offer delicious and diverse menu offers and portions, and provided that they orient themselves towards rational orders, taking proper care and processing of food, smaller portions, etc., as well as cater for a number of other creative and inter- esting ideas the ultimate aim of which would be reduction in food waste, it is somewhat likely that the awareness and the focus of other caterers would change as well. Hence, they would serve as role models and leaders of good practices that would be applied by the other caterers in their respective facilities. Additionally, they would serve as a role model for their guests as well who may consider ‘how to reduce the food waste in their homes alike’. 8 ‘WE, THE YOUTHS, HAVE PLENTY OF CREATIVE IDEAS THAT MAY BE EASILY IMPLEMENTED AND CON- SEQUENTLY CONTRIBUTE TO BETTER LIVES. WE ARE TO BE ASKED AND CONSULTED, AND ENCOUR- AGED TO REASON. SUCH EXPERIENCES SHALL ENABLE US TO BECOME RESPONSIBLE AND CONSCIEN- TIOUS CITIZENS THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF AND PROTECT THE SOCIETY IN WHICH WE LIVE AND THE PEOPLE THAT BELONG TO THAT SOCIETY.’ DRAFT IDEA BENEFIT FOOD FREE OF CHARGE FRIDGE FOR ,, 3-F” ( Free Food Fridge ) Such an idea shall not only encourage the catering facilities to reduce the amount of food being disposed of, but shall also encourage the The catering facilities may place separate fridges for guests themselves to be more humane and donate. Moreover, the idea storage of surplus food. Food that was prepared but would make the guests consider the quantity of food that they order remained unserved, and the food that the guests have and leave unfinished on their plates. In addition to the afore-stated, bought for donation purposes may be stored in such the idea could contribute to enhancing the reputation of the catering fridges. This surplus food may be delivered to people facilities in light of the fact that almost everybody would like to visit that are in need of food aid. a place renowned for its delicious food and cozy ambience on one hand and being recognized as ‘humane’ and ‘socially responsible’ on the other hand. 9 Marija Zelenkovska, aged 22 Ivana Ivanova, aged 22 Faculty of Law Iustinianus Primus – Skopje JUST ONE CLICK AWAY FROM DONATING FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME OR FROM ELSEWHERE Occasionally, people either do not consider or are not familiar with the option of donating any surplus food. It is likely that some people do not see any benefits from such a humane action, or simply they do not know to whom or how to donate it. This list of people could also encompass persons who fear the existence of any lengthy and cumbersome adminis- trative procedures pertaining to such circumstances that would further burden the process. Additionally, people may not be informed about the prospect of donating any surplus food that would be used for processing purposes, composting or any other end but mere disposal. There is no publicly available information about any initiatives, projects or organizations that are willing to receive such waste. 10 “WE ARE NOT TO ALLOW THE PROBLEM OF FOOD WASTE TO BECOME YET ANOTHER UNRESOLVED ISSUE IN OUR STATE WITH THE POTENTIAL OF ESCALATING FURTHER. THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS OF SAVING ANY EXTRA FOOD. FOOD DISPOSAL IS NEITHER THE ONLY SOLUTION NOR THE MOST CONVENIENT ONE.” DRAFT IDEA MOBILE APPLICATION AND BENEFIT VENDING MACHINES Hence, donation of any surplus food or organic waste APPLICATION DONATION would be facilitated in full. The application would The application would enable creation of a personal profile for the respective users.
