# FoodSHIFT Pathways: Reducing Food Waste Through Circular Education [**Foodshift Pathways**](https://foodshift-pathways.eu/) is a European Erasmus+ project that brings together six European countries —Germany, Spain, Denmark, Greece, Italy, and Sweden— in a collaborative action-research effort addressing key topics on sustainability and the transformation of the food system through education and experimentation in schools. Each country delves into a specific focus, tailored to its local food-related needs and challenges. For instance, Sweden examines the impact of fast food marketing on young people; the Netherlands utilizes technological applications to map land use for urban agriculture; Portugal promotes healthy diets in schools; Greece encourages the consumption of local products; and Denmark transforms school cafeterias to reflect sustainable practices. In Spain, from the [**Fab Lab de Barcelona**](https://fablabbcn.org/) and in collaboration with the[ teaching community of Catalonia through the **FAIG** project](https://fablabbcn.org/projects/faig), we aim to promote a new perspective: **transforming food waste into valuable resources**. This initiative seeks to develop learning situations that encourage this transformation from within the classroom, introducing students to the interconnectedness of ecosystems, where every element plays a role in the cycle of life, and nothing goes to waste. **Our goal is for students to understand our role as humans within the ecosystem and the importance of reusing food waste, returning it to the system**. This initiative fosters a collective sense of collaboration, where everything can be utilized and repurposed for the benefit of the environment and sustainability. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
