Description

Lara Rabinovitch:

"Leftover Swap [1], for example, aims to eliminate food waste by pairing those with excess food to those looking for a community-oriented approach to a homemade meal. The company will soon release their photo-based app, making use of the foodie penchant for sharing snaps of meals on social media. The LeftoverSwap app will be free and users are encouraged to donate their leftovers or ask for a donation. The idea is simple: people get tired of the same foods over multiple nights—especially when just cooking for one or two—and, besides, leftover couscous salad might be one person’s garbage but another’s treasure."
