Foodprint

Editor's Review

Foodprint is an innovative app designed to tackle the pressing issue of food waste by connecting users with eateries that have surplus food available at a discounted price – typically 30% off! 🤩 Every day, partner restaurants, cafes, and supermarkets upload their surplus food items, which are perfectly good to eat but would otherwise end up in the landfill. This means you get to enjoy high-quality meals while helping the environment. 🌿

With just a few taps on your phone, you can explore local eateries, discover delicious food deals, and play a part in rescuing food from being wasted. It's a win-win situation! 🎉

Why Food Waste Matters:

Did you know that humans waste about ⅓ of all food produced? 😮 This is not only a waste of the food itself but also the valuable resources that go into producing it, such as land, water, labor, and money. Even worse, when food ends up in landfills, it decomposes and releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas that significantly contributes to climate change. 😥

In New Zealand alone, cafes, restaurants, and supermarkets generate 50,000 tonnes of food waste each year, with over 60% being preventable. Foodprint offers a practical and user-friendly solution that benefits both consumers and eateries, helping everyone reduce their foodprint and make a positive impact on the planet. 💚
