FoodTuristic
Welcome to FoodTuristic
We are a consortium of five vocational and higher education institutions across Europe who are passionate about campus food growing, reducing food waste, and circularity of food.
About FoodTuristic
The FoodTuristic project addresses the lack of green technology curriculum in European culinary and hospitality schools, which have traditionally focussed more on gastronomy and hospitality management skills. It is funded via the Erasmus Key Action 2 framework, with the project running from November 2023 - November 2025.
Our project aims to develop digital resources for educators and students in hotel and culinary schools across four partner countries to reduce food waste, develop circular economy skills, and localise food production.
We will develop a Vocational Education and Training (VET) course delivered as a digital bade, a website, a mobile application, and a good practice guide, to address the green skills gap in European culinary and hospitality schools.
Our project will reduce food waste, utilise food waste in novel technology composting systems, and adopt new technologies to grow appropriate foods onsite.
The skills developed by project output users will have strong legacy potential and benefit the reduced carbon impact of schools and industry.
