Foodsharing Luxembourg a.s.b.l. at the ING Luxembourg Solidarity Awards 2024!

Although we didn’t win this year, we are incredibly grateful to participate in the ING Solidarity Awards 2024 ceremony!

Our team members, Martin Lecoutère and Hannah Proffitt-Perchard, had the opportunity to attend the event, discover and connect with many inspiring ASBLs (non-profit organisations) across Luxembourg. It was truly motivating to see the incredible work being done by other organisations committed to making a difference. 💚

Congratulations to all the winners and a special mention to Fondation Lëtzbuerger Kannerduerf who this year won the Environmental Protection category. 🌱

A special shout-out to on.perfekt and Kass-Haff, who last year won in the Environmental Protection category. Their initiatives continue to inspire us, and we’re excited to see how all of us can contribute to a more ecological and more sustainable Luxembourg.

A big thank you to ING Luxembourg for bringing us all together in the spirit of collaboration and solidarity. It’s events like these that help strengthen the network of organisations working for social and environmental good in Luxembourg, and we’re proud to be part of that movement.

Let’s continue to learn from each other, share ideas, and work together towards a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future!

100,7: “Revisioun vun de politesche Fuerderunge vu Foodsharing Luxembourg”

Foodsharing Luxembourg published a first version of its political demands in February 2023 and presented them before the elections to politicians: Minister: sent in.
In the meantime, more European countries have introduced laws against food waste, and Foodsharing Luxembourg organized a panel discussion with experts and politicians on the subject a year ago. Explanations with Daniel Waxweiler from Foodsharing Luxembourg.

Extended!

After our first call, our working group “Political work” at Foodsharing Luxembourg received interesting input. In addition to the situation in canteens and shops, we were e.g. told that subsidies are paid for the sowing of potatoes, not for harvesting them, and thus for reasons of profitability they often rot away meaninglessly on the fields. As your insight into different areas is really helpful for our work to improve the national legislation on food loss and waste, we extend our call.

Where do you see problems in the system? Are you aware of mistakes that lead to waste? Please contact us by November 6 at moien@foodsharing.lu.

Political Work Circle calls for help!

We need you!

The working group “Political Work” of Foodsharing Luxembourg is currently working on demands for an improvement of the national legislation on food loss and waste. The starting point should be an inventory.

For this, we would like your help! Where do the problems in the system lie? Are you aware of current failings that lead to food loss or food waste? Do you see patterns or contradictions in your everyday life, at work or at home that lead to waste?

Let us know at moien@foodsharing.lu by 15 October.

All submissions will be processed anonymously.
