6th week update.....

Welcome to 6^th week of my blog post on the food waste management project at MAS Factory in Pannala. Through this project, we aim to implement sustainable practices that will not only reduce food waste but also promote a more environmentally conscious approach to production.

Food waste is a global concern with significant economic, social, and environmental implications. According to recent statistics, a staggering amount of food is wasted each year, contributing to resource depletion and climate change. Recognizing the importance of addressing this issue, our team has joined forces with MAS Factory to devise innovative strategies and solutions.

In this blog post, I will walk you through the progress made during our sixth week of the project. From refining survey questions to finalizing video topics and establishing a well-structured activity lineup, we have been actively working towards our goal of creating a sustainable food waste management system.

Join me as we delve into the key developments and discussions that have taken place in the past week. We will share insights from our team meetings, highlight the significant milestones achieved, and shed light on the collaborative efforts undertaken to drive this project forward.

I believe that by sharing our journey and experiences, I can inspire others to take action and contribute to the global movement against food waste. So, let's dive into the details of our sixth week progress and witness the positive impact we are striving to make at MAS Factory in Pannala.

Division of Tasks and Subgroup Leaders:

There are so many benifits of delegation and this division of tasks can lead to more effective project management and accountability.Delegation brings several benefits to project management and accountability. It increases efficiency by distributing tasks to individuals with relevant skills, improves resource utilization, enhances time management by prioritizing tasks, and fosters accountability as team members take ownership of their assigned responsibilities.
