Foodsharing portal catching up

A website launched this week is helping Austrians share food rather than waste it, in an attempt to limit the environmental damage of wasted food – and put bread on the table of those who need it.

The basic concept, according to the website, is simple: “People share food. No money should exchange hands here, because sharing also has an ethical dimension. We want to reinstate the spiritual, non-material value of food, because it is more than just a commodity.”
