Welcome

Foodsharing Luxembourg is an environmental volunteer-run non-profit organisation (a.s.b.l.) whose vision is that all edible foods in Luxembourg are consumed. One-third of the food produced globally is currently wasted. The association fights food loss and waste by supporting the quick exchange of food that would be thrown away. Foodsharing Luxembourg wants that by raising awareness of this issue and its impacts on the climate, environment, and society, and by pushing for a systematic change this will dramatically reduce the quantities being wasted.

Food loss and waste

Huge global issue

One third of all food produced worldwide is not consumed. The resources contained, such as labour hours, water, transport, etc., are thus equally wasted.

147 kg per person per year in Luxembourg

  • 91 kg household
  • 17 kg manufacturing
  • 14 kg restaurants and services
  • 14 kg retail and other distribution
  • 12 kg primary production

(2020, Eurostat 2022)

Impact on climate

During 2010 – 2016, global food loss and waste equalled 8-10% of total GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions.

Projects

Foodsaving

We pick up and redistribute food that is still edible and would be thrown away from businesses and other organisations, if not taken by charities.

Foodsharing Points

We provide public places where everybody can place and take food free of charge.

Political Work

We analyse the current situation of food loss and waste and want to achieve sustainable improvements in the relevant legislation, in cooperation with public and political authorities.

Workshops

We offer workshops to spread knowledge about the food waste problem and about solutions you can do on an individual basis adapted to the participants’ age through non-formal learning.

Erasmus+ project

Within the context of the Erasmus+ “Sharing food without borders” with the Foodsharing movement from Belgium and Germany, several events are organised, such as the barcamp and festival “International Foodsharing Collab”.
