4.Impact Assessment
In 2020, FEBA initiated the “Quantifying the Impact of European Food Banks – From Farm to Fork” project, which sought to establish a more efficient method to collect and analyse data.
The project had two primary objectives: to conduct an accurate impact assessment of European food banks and to gather information on the long-term effects (both intended and unintended) resulting from their operations.
As a result of this project, FEBA launched the online Observatory on Food Donation in October 2020. Since then, FEBA has supported its members in using the detailed data collection platform and has continuously improved its technical features.
