Look Ma’ No Hands

Look Ma’ No Hands
Barcelona, Spain

THE INNOVATION:

Look Ma’ No Hands, a project which 3D prints snacks from fruit and vegetable peels, challenges the question “what is waste?” by returning food “waste” to the table. The project aims not only to recycle discarded fruit and vegetable peels but also to create a new form of production-consumption behavior. So far, through its participation in the project Remix El Barrio by Fab Lab Barcelona, Look Ma’ No Hands has had the opportunity to meet with small groups and also set up a food scrap collection scheme between restaurants and cafes in the Barcelona neighborhood of Poblenou.

LOOKING AHEAD:

The project aims to develop a local “foodshed” by increasing the number of people participating in this circular production / consumption business model and establishing alliances with local organic restaurants and cafes in Barcelona. This makes use of the combining mechanism, with the aim of exchanging with at least 10 cafes.

Info about the Innovators and the Innovation portraits Catalogue

FoodSHIFT 2030 aims to launch an ambitious citizen-driven transition of the European food system towards a low carbon circular future, including a shift to less meat and more plant based diets. This transition is necessary in order to address the pressing challenges for food and nutrition security, contribute to the EU commitment of reducing GHG emissions by at least 40% by 2030, and revitalize urban-rural linkages and partnerships.

To do so, it establishes FoodSHIFT Accelerator Labs for maturing, combining, upscaling and multiplying existing food system innovations across nine front-runner city-regions. In turn these innovations contribute to the FoodSHIFT vision.

An Innovation Catalogue called “Innovation Portraits” was created to snapshot each of the Food Innovations connected with each of the FoodSHIFT Accelerator Labs (FALs) across the 9 city regions.

Info about the Innovation Portraits Catalogue

The Innovation Catalogue will snapshot each of the Food Innovations connected with each of the FoodSHIFT Accelerator Labs (FALs) across the 9 city regions. Each FAL has a dedicated innovation focus and each chapter will present innovation cases from a particular FAL. For each of the innovations presented, a snapshot of the innovation concept and purpose will be given, alongside the key impacts the innovation has in relation to the FoodSHIFT Impact Pathways and the acceleration ambitions of the innovation.

In addition, each innovation portrait is also categorized according to its Innovation Dimension. These dimensions indicate what kind of innovation is being presented, and where in the value chain it plays a role. This is indicated by these tabs. The dimensions are defined as follows:

Product – Innovations in this category address new or updated products, including quality, safety and market impact.

Process – These innovations are relevant to new technologies for processing, logistical improvements, infrastructure and new/improved services.

Social – Innovations in this category are relevant to changes in behaviour (e.g. consumers/citizens), development of new relationships and inclusiveness.

Governance – The innovations address policy developments, including food planning, subsidies, taxing, certificates & labelling.
