CHORIZO aims to improve the understanding and knowledge to increase the effectiveness of decision-making and engagement of food chain actors in changing social norms towards zero food waste. The project is focused on (i) building upon previous FLW actions, (ii) generating new evidence on social norms & FLW behaviours, (iii) utilising advanced modelling techniques to produce solutions that integrate behavioural and economic theories and embedding research results into innovative products that can foster a change of FLW-related social norms.
