Fellow mates against food waste

Food waste is difficult to swallow. Almaviva joins up the volunteers of the Banco Alimentare non-profit foundation, a network that collects surplus food that’s still perfectly good, but, having lost commercial value in the food supply chain, is destined to be disposed of.

The primary sources of the supply for the organizations in the Banco Alimentare’s national network are the agricultural industry, fruit and vegetable markets, large supermarket chains, and restaurants.

In addition to the daily activity, every year, at the end of November, Fondazione Banco Alimentare organizes and coordinates the National Food Collection Day, to engage and raise awareness among civil society through the invitation to a concrete act of giving and sharing: shopping for those who are not as lucky.
