Foodlist will bring together people that want to reduce food waste in Europe and the rest of the world. We will achieve this by sharing information about where to find food that approaches best before or expiration date. Food heroes will buy the food before it becomes food waste. Foodlist will also make donation of unsold food much easier and convenient for stores and work as a matchmaker between stores and charities. The firm belief of Foodlist is that we need to create a mass movement of people that also buys the available goods in the stores that is close to expiration date. This will in the end help reduce overproduction of food where the real food waste problem starts. By using the Foodlist app, people will communicate, find information about food and work together in a way that will contribute to ending food waste and help ensure a sustainable future. #wearefoodheroes

Our problem.
1/3 of all the food produced in the world ends up as food waste – that’s 1.3 billion tons of food every year!
10% of the worlds greenhouse gas emissions is caused by producing food that is wasted.
25% cut in food waste could provide enough food for the 800 million people who are starving in the world today.
In Norway we throw away 355,000 tons of edible food each year. In our homes each person wastes 45 kg of food every year. The total value of the food wasted each year is a staggering 20 billion NOK. -
