Consumers’ increasing consciousness of the environmental impacts of their food purchases has led to growing interest in the food service industry to meet the consumers’ demand for climate friendly options. But how can restaurants measure and develop their operations to become more carbon conscious? How to provide tools to small and medium sized restaurants so that they would support and develop climate friendly business? How could the data be utilized to inform consumers and support conscious and sustainable choices? 

Mission Zero Foodprint project promotes the City of Helsinki’s carbon neutrality goals by engaging the restaurant and food industry to co-create and experiment digital solutions and an operating model to measure and make restaurants’ carbon footprint visible. The smart solutions and model co-created with experts and food service industry professionals will enable even the smallest restaurants to operate and develop their activities in a more sustainable direction.

In September, in the national food waste week, Mission Zero Foodprint will launch an open call for digital solutions that support restaurants to decrease their carbon footprint. In the open call, we will be looking for digital tools to pilot helping  restaurants to manage their food waste, energy efficiency or carbon footprint.
