Local businesses, organizations, and public bodies from across Crete recently gathered at the Chalkiadakis Academy for a series of round table discussions organized as part of the European ROSETTA Project. The initiative focuses on developing practical solutions to reduce food waste across the island's food and hospitality sectors. Chalkiadakis A.E., a major Cretan food industry company, coordinated the event, bringing together stakeholders to share data and align on strategies aligned with broader EU sustainability goals. For visitors, this reflects a growing commitment among Cretan restaurants, hotels, and food suppliers to operate more responsibly. Tourists can expect to see increased efforts by local establishments to minimize waste, source locally, and adopt more sustainable practices. Supporting businesses that participate in such programs is a straightforward way to contribute to the island's long-term environmental health during your stay.
