Deadline: 24-Mar-22
Food Wave is calling for proposals for Local Authorities promoting sustainable production and consumption patterns to fight climate change.
Objectives
The objective of the project is to raise awareness on the sustainable ways to consume and produce food for climate change mitigation and to activate young people in their cities on the matter. The project aims at committing young people from 16 different countries and focuses on addressing climate change with an integrated approach to themes of social inclusion, diversity and integration of vulnerable and disadvantaged groups.
Thematic Axes
- Sustainable diets to reduce the impact on the planet and protect human rights.
- Local alternative food systems, local producers and territorial markets.
- Fight against food waste.
- Sustainable food education and knowledge sharing/dissemination.
- Fight against climate change and equal access to healthy, sustainable and fair food.
Funding Information
Any submitted proposal must be of max 5.000 EUR. Each applicant will benefit from a financing of 75% of the total of the action up to a maximum of 3.750 Eur. The remaining 25% of the action (a minimum of 1.250 Eur) will be provided by each applicant as co-funding. The financing and co-financing % always remain the same even if the overall cost of the proposed action is lower than 5.000 EUR. The general action carried out by the Applicant can be higher than 5.000 EUR, but in this case the remaining budget of the overall costs of the proposal will be covered with The Applicant’s own financial resources.
