ABOUT THE PROJECT

Food for the Future is a cross-Baltic project currently running from autumn 2025 to autumn 2026 in schools across Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.

It is featuring Food Waste Days with chefs, students, and grandparents, followed by a Food Waste Ambassadors program that empowers youth to lead change in their communities.

In addition, municipality roundtables are bringing together local leaders, chefs, and Nordic embassies to turn ideas into lasting policies. Rooted in Nordic values of sustainability and cooperation, the project demonstrates how local action can inspire meaningful and long-term impact.
