In July 2020, with the support of the EU SWITCH-Asia Programme, the Shenzhen One Planet Foundation launched the "Pride on our Plates" project, together with its strategic partner WWF Beijing Office and other partners. The project calls on catering MSMEs in China to join the fight against food waste. Over the past two years, the Food Waste Reduction Casebook (Summary Report) has been published, and pilot training and workshop for catering enterprises have been carried out in six cities across the country. This project has embraced the support and engagement of government departments, industry associations and many catering enterprises, as well as widespread public recognition. The Food Waste Reduction Practical Guide not only collects the wisdom and experience of industry scholars and many front-line experts, but also embodies the research results of the "Pride on our Plates" project since its launch, providing scientific and effective guidance on food waste reduction measures for catering enterprises and operators in a wide range from procurement, storage, processing to service.
