450 kg Reduction in Food Waste: Student Campaign at the CZU Canteen Helped Save More Than 1,000 Meals
The Every Plate Counts awareness campaign, implemented during the 2025/2026 summer semester at the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU) canteen, contributed to a reduction of 450 kilograms of food waste. This amount is equivalent to approximately 1,120 to 1,290 meal portions that were prevented from ending up as waste. The success of the initiative also attracted the attention of the canteen’s operator, Delirest, which is now considering the adoption of the campaign's educational materials across its dining facilities throughout the Czech Republic.
