RESTwithEU launches its Open Call programme, where restaurants, startups and solutions providers from all Europe come together to solve the restaurant sector challenges.
After our first call, our working group “Political work” at Foodsharing Luxembourg received interesting input. In addition to the situation in canteens and shops, we were e.g. told that subsidies are paid for the sowing of potatoes, not for harvesting them, and thus for reasons of profitability they often rot away meaninglessly on the fields. As your insight into different areas is really helpful for our work to improve the national legislation on food loss and waste, we extend our call.
Where do you see problems in the system? Are you aware of mistakes that lead to waste? Please contact us by November 6 at moien@foodsharing.lu.
The working group “Political Work” of Foodsharing Luxembourg is currently working on demands for an improvement of the national legislation on food loss and waste. The starting point should be an inventory.
For this, we would like your help! Where do the problems in the system lie? Are you aware of current failings that lead to food loss or food waste? Do you see patterns or contradictions in your everyday life, at work or at home that lead to waste?
Let us know at moien@foodsharing.lu by 15 October.
“On the occasion of the International Food Loss and Waste Awareness Day, various associations in the Benelux region and France explain to us how they help to limit this waste”
The Foodsharing Luxembourg initiative has been trying for three years to save food that supermarkets, shops and producers would otherwise throw away. The food is collected and distributed by so-called “Foodsavers” – either to people for whom the ecological aspect is important or who may not be doing so well financially.
Nomadic Island is a social experiment which brings together a group of 11 artists from different EU countries and an intergenerational group of local residents. People between 12 and 99 years old can participate in the project, sharing the life of this temporary community on a daily basis.
The project is running from18.07.22 to 07.08.22 at Thillebierg, in Differdange. Participants stay a minimum of 5 consecutive days to contribute to the artistic creations and to the daily organisation of life at the camp.
Chef Antoine Carteri from Gastronomica Luxembourg will be cooking for all the participants.
Nomadic Island is looking for members and foodsavers who are willing to help implement the anti-waste policy of Nomadic Island. Antoine has his own food providers, but we would like to integrate with delivery from foodsavers. We would be grateful to collaborate with some of you for the pick-ups and the delivery of the saved food to the Nomadic Island camp, which is situated at the Thillebierg football stadium (Rue de l’Hôpital, 4581 Differdange).
The people who would collaborate with us could join the camp and its activities as participants of the project. They would then work together with the artists to create artworks and commit to our social experiment.
Please, find a flyer which briefly explains what it is about to participate in the Nomadic Island project. For more information on the project and the artists participating, please check the webpage of the Nomadic Island project.
Foodsavers and Foodsharing members who want to take part in the project and help us with saved food will not need to pay any participation fee.

Foodsharing Point
What is a Foodsharing Point? This is a fridge and / or shelf containing food that has been placed by private individuals and can be taken away by anyone free of charge. These foodsharing points are publicly available.
Who can use a Foodsharing Point? Our foodsharing points are public, which means they are accessible to everyone. That's why you do not need to be a member of Foodsharing Luxembourg.
Is all food allowed in a Foodsharing Point? This information is also available on every fridge. In particular products containing raw eggs and alcohol are NOT allowed.
Who keeps this place clean? Our volunteer members take care of this. All refrigerators have guidelines, such as a cleaning plan, which are kept up to date by our volunteer members.
Events
Foodsharing Luxembourg is present at various events to inform and raise awareness of food waste. We do this with information booths, but also with cooking actions, where we cook with saved food and distribute it for free.
