Post Summary
This project will establish and analyse the actual and potential sustainability (i.e. social, economic and environmental) impacts of ICT-mediated food sharing initiatives (FSIs), which include community growing, cooking, eating and surplus food redistribution activities, for waste prevention and reduction in Ireland in order to develop appropriate policy supports to meet SDG Target 12.3: to halve global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses, including postharvest losses, along supply chains by 2030. The PhD student will gain important transdisciplinary and teamwork skills throughout the project, refining and applying the SHARING SOLUTIONS (see: https://www.sharingsolutions.eu/ ) approach alongside the existing SHARING SOLUTIONS team, developing novel metrics for aggregating sustainability impacts and engaging with FSIs, city and county council officers, food supply actors and researchers to establish impacts and provide policy and practical recommendations.
