100.7: Interest in “Foodsharing” has increased in recent months

(article in Luxembourgish)

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.

Thank you to Tageblatt for this lively article about our Distribution Days in Junglinster. Without our committed members of Foodsharing Luxembourg and the support of the commune of Junglinster, these would not have been possible.

Today, the first public fridge, also known as Foodsharing Point, has been inaugurated in front of the shop Naturwelten, rue Auguste Charles 7, Bonnevoie, Luxembourg City. Co-funded by the Ministery for Cooperation and Humanitarian Action and Frères des Hommes Luxembourg in the framework of Education for Sustainable Development, the project consists of the provision of a publicly accessible fridge that serves as a food exchange point for private individuals. In fact, private households are responsible for 75% of food waste, for around 89 kg per person per year. This project starts here and is accessible for everybody around the clock.
