The MEDWISE project advances in its technological implementation phase: on September 19th, in a dedicated participatory testing meeting with stakeholders in Italy at Gustibus Sicilian Food Factory in Assoro
Under the MEDWISE project, which represents a strategic initiative aimed at promoting circularity and valorizing organic waste streams across the Mediterranean basin, the development of digital solutions is entering its core operational phase by the University of Catania. As part of our activities dedicated to digitalization and efficient domestic resource management, we are approaching a key milestone: the presentation and live field testing of the very first MEDWISE mobile application demo.
On September 19th, during a special event organized in collaboration with the Rotary Club Catania Sud at the Gustibus Sicilian Food Factory plant located in Assoro (EN), we will have the opportunity to test the initial operational version of the application.
The event will showcase the entire production chain and illustrate the concrete actions implemented to reduce or eliminate food waste along the supply chain. This digital tool has been designed and developed to simplify food waste management at the household level, offering citizens practical solutions to reduce food waste at the source. Among the key features integrated into the app is a specialized anti-waste recipe database, carefully structured to valorize everyday ingredients that would otherwise end up in the organic waste bin.
The meeting will feature the participation and insights of the CEO, Dr. Francesco Pecorino, highlighting the company’s commitment to circular economy practices.
This testing session represents a crucial step in the technological implementation of the project, successfully combining digital innovation with the promotion of responsible consumption habits. Gathering feedback and insights from users and experts during this phase will guide the subsequent optimization of the platform, demonstrating how the combination of technology and shared best practices can concretely close the loop of domestic sustainability.
