The results of the program “Boroume at the Farmers’ Market” for the year 2018 indicate the saving of over 128 tons of fruit and vegetables, in cooperation with 23 farmers’ markets in Athens and Thessaloniki, and hundreds of enthusiastic volunteers.
On Friday, 14/12, Athens Trigono organized festive events in order to welcome Christmas.
We eagerly participated in the meeting of the members of the European Union Platform on Food Losses and Food Waste (FLW), which took place at the beginning of December in Brussels.
For three years we have had the pleasure of working with the catering company La Chocolatière which, always sensitized, makes sure to communicate with us every time there is leftover food from an event that it has organized.
Here at Boroume we often get asked the question "How can I help reduce food waste?" by people who are also sensitive to this issue.
Two more farmers’ markets were recently added to the collaborations of the program "Boroume at the Farmers’ Market", those of Korydallos and Holargos. With these two new partnerships, the farmers’ markets that participate in the program now amount to 22 (5 of which operate in Thessaloniki).
The transition towards a Circular Economy in Food aims at the sustainable use of – limited– resources, optimum use of food, as well as the reuse of resources and optimum management of side/waste streams.
We are very pleased that we are part of this beautiful initiative and a meaningful offer to people in need!
