The United Nations has decreed, by 2030, a set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that aim to solve/mitigate some of society's biggest problems in order to ensure a sustainable, integrated and inclusive future for all. One of its SDGs is “Responsible Consumption and Production” (SDG 12). Among its different goals, there is one aimed at reducing (by half) food waste. This SDG is based on a growing and serious reality of increasing food waste. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), per year, “(…) 931 million tons of food end up in the garbage. As a result, all the resources that were used in food production, including water, land use, energy, human labour and capital, are also wasted.” This waste is shocking when we look at the reality of countries and contexts with difficulties in accessing food for subsistence, in many cases, basic. According to the same source, “811 million people go hungry and an additional 132 million suffer from the threats of food insecurity, especially with the Covid-19 pandemic.” Food waste, which is a contradiction in terms of the inequality of access to food in different contexts, causes a set of problems that, without resolution, will remain and will bring numerous constraints to environmental sustainability and the planet itself. Therefore, it is important to alert, raise awareness and empower populations to the serious problem that is food waste so that there can be a reversal or attenuation of the waste cycle and, with that, promote communities with greener and more sustainable standards and behaviours. This is how the project idea came about. Today's young people are tomorrow's adults and they, more than anyone else, should be aware of the seriousness of risky behaviour when it comes to food waste and its effects on their lives and their homes. We promoted close work with youth workers (YWs) so that they could train themselves in these issues, exchange experiences and knowledge, invest in new intervention models based on non-formal methods and manage to work with and empower young people to adopt more sustainable and balanced behaviours. In addition, through joint action between the YWs we aim to improve and strengthen their personal, social and professional capacities and, as a result, increase the innovative aspect of the youth sector. -OBJECTIVES- We define, as our main objective, the social inclusion of young people in all its aspects, with particular emphasis on decision-making regarding social and environmental changes. The main objective, as well as the needs, will be fulfilled through the specific objectives defined according to the SMART logic: -Promoting the development of key competences among YW for improvement, innovation and higher quality of youth work; -Promoting the exchange of knowledge and experience between peers to strengthen and specialize professional and the youth sector; -Promote non-formal learning opportunities for the development of competences and capacities of YW and organisations; -Stimulate the production of quality results in the youth sector; -Promote a network of specialized and active YW in the youth sector, environmental sustainability and social inclusion; -Foster the increase of local, regional, national and European projects and initiatives working with young people. At the end of the project, these objectives were all met, resulting in a strengthened youth sector, empowered participants, and greater awareness of the need for sustainable, responsible consumption practices among young people and their communities.
