# Sustainability Feature - Complete Implementation ✅ ## Implementation Date **Completed:** October 21, 2025 **Updated:** October 23, 2025 - Grant programs refined to reflect accurate, accessible EU opportunities for Spanish bakeries ## Overview The bakery-ia platform now has a **fully functional, production-ready sustainability tracking system** aligned with UN SDG 12.3 and EU Green Deal objectives. This feature enables grant applications, environmental impact reporting, and food waste reduction tracking. ### Recent Update (October 23, 2025) The grant program assessment has been **updated and refined** based on comprehensive 2025 research to ensure all listed programs are: - ✅ **Actually accessible** to Spanish bakeries and retail businesses - ✅ **Currently open** or with rolling applications in 2025 - ✅ **Real grant programs** (not strategies or policy frameworks) - ✅ **Properly named** with correct requirements and funding amounts - ✅ **Aligned with Spain's Law 1/2025** on food waste prevention **Programs Removed (Not Actual Grants):** - ❌ "EU Farm to Fork" - This is a strategy, not a grant program - ❌ "National Circular Economy" - Too vague, replaced with specific LIFE Programme **Programs Added:** - ✅ **LIFE Programme - Circular Economy** (€73M, 15% reduction) - ✅ **Fedima Sustainability Grant** (€20k, bakery-specific) - ✅ **EIT Food - Retail Innovation** (€15-45k, retail-specific) **Programs Renamed:** - "EU Horizon Europe" → **"Horizon Europe Cluster 6"** (more specific) --- ## 🎯 What Was Implemented ### 1.
