A volunteer’s point of view.
In this video, you can see from the volunteer's point of view how it will be if you choose to spend just couple hours of your time to help us save food by sharing it. From the beginning of the event to the end you will see that the joint collaboration of our volunteers and the public is turning every event into a huge success, so come and join our foodsharing community and “become a foodsaver” that is spreading smiles and sharing food.
The scale of food waste
According to The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations one-third of food produced is wasted which amounts to about 1.3 billion tonnes per year. In Denmark alone, average household throws away about 180 kg of food every year, adding up to 247,000 tonnes in 2017. About 55% of that food is still edible when thrown away.
