Foodsharing e.V.

We are an initiative that is committed to combating food waste. We "rescue" unwanted and overproduced food in private households and from small and large businesses. In addition, we see ourselves as an educational movement and are committed to sustainable environmental and consumption goals. Among other things, we campaign for a stop to throw-aways and against the supermarkets' packaging madness. With these and other topics, we are present at events or in the media and launch our own campaigns. The organization of our foodsharing community and our activities runs primarily through the online platform foodsharing. Here, the food rescuers (food sharers/food savers) in the individual cities and regions network and coordinate. Supraregional topics, events and information are published via the platform. Our foodsharing initiative was founded in Berlin in 2012. In the meantime, it has grown into an international movement with over 200,000 registered users in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and other European countries. The members of the foodsharing community work on a voluntary and unpaid basis. The foodsharing initiative is and will remain free of charge, non-commercial, independent and free of advertising. We want to make the platform open source and more accessible worldwide - just like the foodsharing concept of food rescue already is.
