Food Loss and Waste data collection protocol

The LOWINFOOD Protocol for the collection of Food Loss and Waste data during demonstrations outlines the indicators, methods, and strategy to be implemented during the project for the evaluation of the efficacy of innovations. The objective of the deliverable is to present the replicable process that has led to the assessment of indicators and the guidelines for the collection of data on FLW across selected innovations. The deliverable complements the methodological framework presented in D1.1, as it provides the final list of indicators set up to define minimum reduction standards and impact, the replicability, user-friendliness and utility of the innovations, an accurate methodology, including duration of measurement, unit of reference and method. The protocol is the result of an ongoing process of consultation and application; therefore, indicators and methodology for data collection might undergo minor and major modifications during the actual implementation of the protocol.
