ABOUT FOODSHARING

Foodsharing is conducted through online platforms managing the redistribution of food among members of the community. Users may post information about foodstuffs they have, their amount and location, and arrange for free or compensated transfer to those who want them.

Foodsharing works with foodstuffs that have value but also a close expiration date. Therefore, time is essential—a valuable item can turn into waste in a few days. Online services with geolocation and instant messaging features can make soon-to-expire value as liquid as possible.

Our goal is to scale up the foodsharing movement in Russia and save a million tons of food every year. To this end, we launched the 1 MLN TONS portal. Here, everybody who wants to give away or get food will easily find the platform most suitable for them. In addition, we aggregate news and analytics on foodsharing and food-saving.
