Afpa, the French LIFE FOSTER partners, host a live cooking show
to demonstrate three recipes created using scraps.

On the occasion of the international “stop food waste day”, Afpa, the French LIFE FOSTER partners, hosted a cooking challenge on the live social network Twitch. Twitch is a popular online service for watching and streaming digital video broadcasts.

Frédéric, Afpa’s cookery trainer, took it upon himself to create recipes from ingredients that are normally thrown away. These included broccoli stalks, a chicken carcass and banana skins. All these ingredients were used to prepare a meal for 2.

The aim of this live online show is to educate the general public, as well as professionals, about ways of using ingredients which are usually thrown out. Through research, we know that 10.5 million tons of food fit for consumption is thrown away each year, from the food service industry alone. This amounts to nearly 18 billion meals. The fight against this waste constitutes an environmental, economic and social issue. Therefore, the LIFE FOSTER project, together with its partners, aims at reducing this waste by educating and training the industry, tomorrow’s workers and the general public.
