Julija Pasnaka, Head of “HOTEL SCHOOL” Hotel Management College, participated in the first meeting of the SAVOR project, hosted by Universidade Lusófona in Lisbon, Portugal.

She stated:

“In cooperation with partners from Spain, Italy, Bulgaria, and Portugal, we are developing an innovative digital application to raise awareness among Europeans about alternative uses of food waste. As part of this process, we have started exploring local best practices, such as the Michelin-starred restaurant Encanto in Lisbon, which is renowned for its 100% vegetarian culinary concept. The restaurant focuses on seasonal, organic, locally sourced vegetables and follows a strict zero-waste approach. We hope to collect many inspirational cases in our partner countries to promote circular economy principles in gastronomy.”

The SAVOR project (Sustainability and Value in Organic Resources) is co-funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ programme (Project No. 2025-1-ES01-KA220-HED-000350651).
