Every year, tons of perfectly edible fruit are discarded simply because they do not meet market standards, while thousands of people struggle to access quality food. This paradox calls for concrete solutions to transform surplus into redistributable resources.
- Tackle food waste by repurposing products that would otherwise be thrown away
- Distribute processed food items to people facing hardship
- Promote professional reintegration through food processing workshops
-
Collect and sort unsold food from local producers and distributors
- Process surplus food through value-adding workshops, including an apple dehydration unit
- Distribute the processed products to partner organizations
- Raise awareness among businesses and the general public about food waste reduction
The main objective of Partage is to collect unsold food and basic necessity items that haven't reached their use-by date.
These products are distributed free of charge within a very short period of time to social or charitable institutions in the Canton of Geneva. In addition, the organisation also carries out a mission of professional reintegration for people by offering solidarity employment.
The 3 missions of Partage are :
a) helping people in precarious situations
b) the fight against food waste
c) vocational reintegration
