Pan-European scenarios of food waste levels
This work is part of a collection of reports on household food waste prediction for EU28, Member Countries and European Regions. The collection consists of a methodological report, REFRESH D4.8 - A roadmap to reduce food waste in Europe, which represents the theoretical base for two additional reports, REFRESH D4.6 Pan-European scenarios of food waste levels and REFRESH D4.7 A pan-European simulation of selected interventions, where food waste scenarios for EU28 and for each European Country are presented. In particular, this work collects 29 single food waste scenarios (28 Country scenarios and a prediction scenario related to the whole EU-28). Scenarios, describing kilograms of food wasted every year by an average household, are based on predictions of food waste levels conducted considering the current values of different socioeconomic and demographic factors: GDP (euros at purchasing power parity), the national tertiary education rates, national employment rate, average household size and house ownership status. No external intervention aimed at reducing the quantity of food waste is considered.

Club GREY HORSE – Providing multiple ecosystems services by forest renters
This case study is drafting new legislation that allows renting forestland for multiple purposes in order to increase economic efficiency and maintain a balance between all ecosystem services. This Russian case works on regulation mechanisms so that people renting forestland can use it for multiple purposes, and to include ecosystem services in the Forest Code.
Spiritual forests and forest kindergartens
This factsheet explores how managing forests to be used as spiritual forests and forest kindergartens could benefit both the forest and the forest owner. The core impact of the case study is to raise awareness of the importance of cultural ecosystem services and to motivate forest actors to manage forests appropriately.
Forests for water in Catalonia
This innovation case is strengthening the link between forests and water with the overall aim of diversifying financing sources for forest management by integrating ecosystem service provision into the economic balance sheet. Work includes integration in the Urban Masterplan for the Rialb Reservoir where different local stakeholders (economic, tourism, water and others) are already working together. The aim is for written recognition in a legal document of the role of forestry in water and landscape conservation, and the recognition of forestry as a potentially relevant economic activity in the area that can be promoted along with tourism. The innovation action also works with the public Segre-Rialb Consortium to assess the suitability of a payment for ecosystem services scheme in relation to water in the area.
