Description (French)
Un tiers de la nourriture produite dans le monde finit dans une décharge. Cela représente 1,3 milliard de tonnes de nourriture gaspillée chaque année. Nous donnons à nos clients les moyens de changer cela. L’application Flashfood permet aux épiceries de vendre des produits alimentaires excédentaires de haute qualité à des prix très bas à des acheteurs avisés qui peuvent consulter les offres dans leur région et acheter des articles directement sur Flashfood - ce qui permet aux acheteurs d’économiser de l’argent, d’augmenter les revenus des épiceries et de réduire notre impact environnemental collectif en réduisant les émissions de gaz à effet de serre.
