Hands to the Pot
Hands to the Pot is an initiative implemented by the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima with the objective of involving citizens in a strategy to prevent food waste.

Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
