Axis 1 – Urban Harvest
The Urban Harvest, developed by Solidarity Route Project, has been the main axis of Prato Cheio’s work, and was the project that gave rise to the organization 24 years ago. The Project is responsible for the organization for the organization's success in its work to combat food waste.
Axis 2 – Education and Systematization of Knowledge
Education projects such as Solidarity Workshops Project and the Prato Cheio para Todos Project make up a second axis of work that seeks to permanently systematize the accumulated knowledge and generate content for different audiences with the aim of educating people to promote good practices in food consumption
Eixo 3 – Inovação e Desenvolvimento Sustentável
A third axis includes the use of technological tools to improve information collection and circulation systems, besides giving transparency and visibility of the results and impacts achieved, which ensures greater engagement of actors in the donation
of food, promoting more sustainable food systems.
O uso de novas ferramentas tecnológicas é essencial para replicar e dar escalabilidade à metodologia de trabalho da Associação Prato Cheio, como a Plataforma de Impacto e a Plataforma de Educação à Distância.
