Spare Harvest

Problem of food waste

Food waste is a global problem.  There has been significant interest and investment in reducing food loss and waste from the production to retails levels of the food supply chain but little at the food consumption level.  Educational campaigns encouraging consumers to reduce portion size, shop better and improve cooking skills has done little to reduce food waste in homes across the world.

Solution

Spare Harvest connects people, so they can share what they have spare in their kitchens, gardens and farms.  Using a technical solution, Spare Harvest gives every single person a simple and easy way to reduce their food waste footprint. 

Members of the Spare Harvest community are sharing homegrown produce, herbs, eggs, honey, nuts, fermented food, jams, pickles, preserves, food scraps, coffee grounds, leftovers and unwanted unexpired items from the pantry and fridge.  They say your trash is someone else’s treasure, and it’s true. 

When consumers connect and share food resources, they are reused and repurposed, reducing consumption, reducing waste and reducing the number of greenhouse gases emitted from landfill.  Small actions, collectively make a big impact.
