We asked for and found the coolest projects that #reducefoodwaste in Central Europe. Find here active initiatives, associations, projects, start-ups, businesses, that contribute to #reducefoodwaste. The winners are- selected by the online voting (40%) and expert jury voting (60%)-: Ne meč’mo hrane stran! (Let’s not waste food!) (SI), Share a Meal with The Homeless (Podziel się Posiłkiem z Bezdomnymi) (PL) and Art of Dumplings (Knödelkult) (DE).
Let's #reducefoodwaste in Central Europe, one project at a time.
It doesn’t matter if you work in a non-profit organization, that cooperates with food banks or if you are a CEO of a start-up, that has developed a mobile app helping households optimize their shopping and reduce food waste or if you cook with surplus food and hand it out for people in need. They are all eligible for the #reducefoodwaste project award 2018. Any active project in Central Europe (DE, AUT, IT, CZ, PL, HU, HR, SLO, SL) can be submitted to the #reducefoodwaste project award.
