Hävikkifoorumi (2020-2023), The National Food Waste Forum, was a food chain development project of Finnish Food Authority coordinated by The Consumers’ Union of Finland that was established to respond to the Finnish government’s commitment to the SDG goal of halving food waste per capita by 2030. Hävikkifoorumi aims to be the biggest food waste project in the nation by assembling all interested food sector operators, companies, organizations, local grass roots actors and others to collaborate and communicate effectively in order to halve household food waste in Finland by 2030.
The Consumers’ Union of Finland implemented the three-year food chain development project in affiliation with Natural Resources Institute Finland, Motiva, The Martha Organization, The Rural Women’s Advisory Organisation, The Finnish Grocery Trade Association, and Choice Architecture Partners Oy. Hävikkiviikko, the popular national food waste campaign organized annually by Kuluttaja magazine, was also organized as a part of the project in 2022 and 2022. The project was funded by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Finland.
