“…Por último, em termos de aplicação, a abordagem FEW Nexus já foi utilizada como pensamento e constructo teórico para: desenvolver ferramentas de Economia Circular Urbana (Xue et al, 2018); gerenciamento de desperdício alimentar (Kibler et al, 2018); inovação ambiental em serviços alimentares (Rosa et al, 2021); análise de desigualdade social (Romero-Lankao & Gnatz, 2019); otimização do uso da terra (Nie et al, 2019), entre outros.…”

Resumo: O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar as ações da RedeCoop nas cooperativas participantes, por meio da abordagem FEW Nexus (nexo alimento-energia-água). Para isso, considerou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa e o método de pesquisa foi o estudo de caso. Adicionalmente, o método de análise escolhido foi a análise de conteúdo com categorias pré-analíticas. A coleta de dados deu-se através de entrevistas com os gestores das cooperativas e documentos, como atas, chamadas públicas e postagens em redes sociais. Ao longo da análise dos resultados, analisou-se a segurança alimentar, energética e hídrica e a produção agrícola familiar dentro do âmbito das cooperativas participantes da RedeCoop. Segundo a análise dos resultados, a RedeCoop possui ações diretas e indiretas no que tange aos elementos do nexo alimento-energia-água. Age, positivamente, nas cooperativas participantes, diretamente, nos elementos alimento e energia; e, ainda, atua indiretamente no que diz respeito ao elemento água. Nas conclusões, apresentou-se possíveis ações que podem fortalecer a atuação da RedeCoop nos elementos FEW Nexus. A presente pesquisa mostrou que a discussão do FEW Nexus poderá auxiliar a agricultura familiar sustentável. Além disso, o estudo tem a capacidade de contribuir na elaboração de políticas públicas que auxiliem na produção de alimentos feita pelos agricultores familiares.

“…To have a complete picture of the best practices in HoReCa, companies focused on food waste reduction should also account for the impact of suppliers and consumer behavior. According to da Rosa et al [16], FW reduction activities should be focused on innovations in the planning of menus, purchases and process of food preparation. Local suppliers usually can react more flexibly and respond quicker to changes in demand.…”

HoReCa Food Waste and Sustainable Development Goals—A Systemic View

A significant share of food waste originates in the food services domain and HoReCa sector. Organizational improvements leading to the decrease of food waste and related costs in HoReCa are needed to make progress in this issue. A systems engineering approach was applied to examine the links between food waste generated in the HoReCa industry and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A literature review discovered two dimensions of actions leading to decreasing food waste in HoReCa; i.e., actions triggered by companies and by authorities (e.g., governmental policies). Additionally, customers and society were also considered. A framework is proposed to explicitly illustrate the dependencies of different micro actions devoted to food waste reduction in HoReCa in support of the SDGs. The other dimension of this framework is macro policies and their impact on SDGs. To increase food waste reduction awareness and collaboration, stakeholders on both the macro (launched by authorities for the whole sector) and micro (initiated by single organizations on their own) levels must work together. The results of this research will be useful in coordinating the efforts of all (consumers, HoReCa companies and suppliers, policymakers and administrations on different levels) involved in the supply chain of food production and consumption.

“…The use of energy-saving technologies will contribute to a reduction of carbon emissions. For example, Rosa et al (2021) demonstrate the importance of process and product innovation in terms of environmental quality. The authors, examine the impact T A B L E 1 The source of greenhouse gas emissions at each stage of the food system of environmental innovation on the balance of food, energy, and water using data of 206 companies from the Food Service Industry in Brazil.…”
