Turkey: Crop Fest
Crop Festival virtual panel: Majority of the panelists joined the virtual panel from harvesting field at Gümüldür, İzmir.
To mark the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste, FAO, in partnership with Aegean Exporters’ Associations and Konak District of the Izmir Provincial Directorate of Turkey’s Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, organized the “First Crop Festival” in a series as part of the Save Your Food campaign.
The festival, held on 25-26 September in Izmir, Turkey, aimed to increase people’s understanding of food waste reduction by directly encouraging the “rescue” of fresh, surplus fruits and vegetables from farms that would be otherwise wasted, and to ensure their redistribution.
