RE: Free the Food #34 ✔ | I LOVE Dumpster Diving!^^ [2018-03-04]
This is at the same time True ... and false!
Supermarkets should donate their wasted food... but only to non-profit organizations that have all the requirement to manipulate and transport food. This includes Approval from the official institutions, a truck with a freezer (with a lot of norms, need to be approved), a local (that ALSO need to be approved by the authorities ... ), etc ... )
This requires a HUGE financial investment for any local association... so only the "big" ones could pick-up wasted food.
So, yeah, it's forbidden to waste food IF an organization with all the requirements have made an official request to the supermarket.
So 99% of the food is still wasted ... :(
Thanks for explainig the issues with this law in France.
Our project is trying to facilitate an alternative to save food in a decentralized way, instead of relying on "BIG" charity organisations that do not really change anything long term but instead preserve the status quo.
We hope that Steem/Steemit can help us reach a broader community so we all can start fixing this problem from a grass roots level.
I wish you the best! I really appreciate those kind of projects! Keep up the good work
