The City of Milan with its Neighbourhood Hubs Food Policy project against food waste is the winner in the “A world without waste” section, of the first edition of the international Earthshot Prize for the best solutions to protect the environment, organized by The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

The £1 million prize will be used to further develop the three hubs, open new ones, ensuring their long-term sustainability, and replicate this excellent practice.

The project was the result of an alliance, in 2017, between the City of Milan, Politecnico di Milano with the research group from the Deaprtment of Management Engineering “Food Sustainability Lab”, of which the Food Sustainability Observatory is part, Assolombarda, Fondazione Cariplo and the QuBì Programme. Three Hubs have already been opened in the neighbourhoods Isola, Lambrate and Gallaratese and the project involves many private businesses and not-for-profit associations with the aim of reducing food waste and its negative impact on the environment, recovering and distributing food to those who need it most in the city.
