🌱 On June 30, 2025, the Meng Landwirtschaft platform and its 19 member organisations, including Foodsharing Luxembourg, presented the 4th, fully revised edition of their plea for a thorough overhaul of agricultural policy, near the 2,000 m² field at the Maison vun der Natur.
🎯 Objective: To stimulate public debate on the future of agriculture in Luxembourg and actively contribute to it. Meng Landwirtschaft calls on Luxembourg’s political leaders—at both the national and European levels—to build a sustainable framework for agriculture that is no longer solely subject to competition law, but recognised as a social, ecological, and public-interest pillar.
📢 Another agriculture is possible: fairer, more resilient, and inclusive!
Foodsharing Luxembourg contributed to the July edition of the CIRCLE OF LIFE series organised by microtarians SIS on Sunday the 6th of July in the frame of LUGA. Due to the bad weather, this edition was relocated from the urban farm Kuerbebierg to the Quartier Stuff Grünewald.
Besides providing rescued foods and giving a hand, we contributed with a participative discussion round with the title “What if all food were consumed and no food were wasted?”.
Let’s imagine we are in the year 2030. Food loss and waste are issues of the past. How did we manage to do so? How does every sector look like now?
After an imagination exercise and a collective topic identification, we had a fishbowl conversation, which most participants used to actively join the discussion, giving everyone in the room a chance to contribute. The invitees Hannah Proffitt-Perchard, Pauline Seeburger and Stefania Filice got the discussion started. The whole session was facilitated by Daniel Waxweiler.
The collective topic identification resulted in a wall of post-its with topics, which were clustered according to categories that emerged naturally. Improvements along the whole production chain were collected, and the role of regulations was highlighted. Raising awareness with young people was another bigger cluster.

In the following discussion round, we started by talking about how accessible an organic or local diet is and how gardens could be made more accessible for everyone by communes. Then, we wondered why many people don’t prioritise conserving food. Is food too cheap? Or was the knowledge lost? This lead us to talk about how children get in touch in some places already more with how their food grows and how it can be transformed. We also shifted our attention to how to help people to waste less. Could rewards work even better than punishments at the individual level? Too what degree could technological solutions help? We closed this round by reminding us that creating communities is essential for solving the issue from the bottom-up.

After that, we collectively enjoyed the food based on rescued vegetables and fruits and on fermented surprises by microtarians.

Feedback EU published a statement today calling the EU for setting its targets for manufacturing and processing food waste reduction to at least 20%. We fully support this demand.

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!
