SUR+

Project information
While 1/3 of all food in The Netherlands is wasted, only 0,3% of this food reaches the Food Bank. With this they can only help 7% of the 1.3 million people living below poverty line. The SUR+ platform will increase the amount of surplus food donated to the food banks and therefore the amount of healthy and balanced food packages. SUR+ raises awareness and takes away the thresholds for farmers to upcycle their waste food. Through FIWARE and FIspace, SUR+ gathers data about the availability of surplus food, creating opportunities to predict and use food wastage.
