TUI, UN Tourism team up for ‘Tourism Food for Good’
TUI Group’s TUI Care Foundation, UN Tourism, and the Centre for Resilience and Sustainable Development (CRSD) at the University of Cambridge, have joined forces for the Tourism Food for Good initiate.
This is a new global initiative to co-create sustainable and circular food systems in tourism destinations.
The Tourism for Development Fund mobilises strategic partnerships and investments to unlock tourism’s potential as a driver of inclusive and sustainable development.
It brings together policymakers, academics, businesses, civil society and local communities to redesign how food is produced and sourced.
It tackles the urgent humanitarian challenge of food insecurity by promoting policy change and solutions that minimise food loss and waste.
It also enhances the redistribution of surpluses within circular value chains.
The initiative will develop the 2040 Impact Roadmap for Sustainable Food Systems in Tourism, a framework to identify leverage points for transformation.
It builds on UN Tourism’s Global Roadmap for Food Waste Reduction in Tourism, developed with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
The TUI Field to Fork programme helps to create new income opportunities for farmers and local producers and enables them to build resilience and create short supply chains with the local tourism sector.
Thomas Ellerbeck, Chairman of the Board of TUI Care Foundation, said: “With our initiative, we want to unlock the sector’s potential to promote local agriculture, reduce food waste and support circular food systems. We’re working to reduce food waste to a minimum.”
Governments, businesses and civil-society organisations are invited to partner in Tourism Food for Good to co-design the 2040 Impact Roadmap for Sustainable Food Systems in Tourism and host pilots at destination or business level.
The first pilot is expected to take place in Cape Verde, a destination where the TUI Care Foundation is already present.
