Abstract: Abstract In industrialised countries and developed societies, there is a paradox regarding food surpluses and the presence of poverty and social exclusion. In such societies, although there are signs of solidarity being implemented, it is necessary to spread human and cultural values to be aware of the social, environmental, and economic consequences of food consumption. Universities have a great potential to set relationships both with civil society and the economic sector through projects that generate ‘services’ to contribute to tackle the problems of society and that can bring values leading to an improvement of people’s lives. Since the creation of the Food Bank Chair (known in Spanish as CBA)-UPM in 2013, the Spanish Food Bank Federation (FESBAL) and the Technical University of Madrid (UPM), together with the investigation group GESPLAN has conducted a wide array of Service-Learning Projects (SLP) that contribute to rational food consumption. Such projects are framed within the Working With People (WWP) model that integrates Service-Learning Projects and personal competences for Project Management. This paper shows this model and the results from a three-level perspective: training-awareness, dissemination-knowledge transfer, and investigation.
