About the organisation
The Food Commons Foundation is a tax-exempted charity that aims to take action against the problem of excessive leftover food in the society leading to a series of undesirable consequences. The primary goal is to collect edible food from the source of food waste (such as markets, retailers, etc.) to reduce environmental pollution caused by food waste and reduce the load on landfills. On the other hand, we redistribute the food, share it with different people in the community, and look for more feasible "food upcycling solutions." By linking social welfare organizations or environmental organizations, government, and industrial and commercial sectors from the society, the Foundation will make continuous efforts to solve the problem of food waste, reducing waste, helping people, and creating green job opportunities. The Foundation has always adhered to its community-oriented positioning, and further encourages support and participation from all sectors of the community, beyond a single source of funding, and hopes to extend the community experience of dealing with leftover food and food waste to the 18 districts of Hong Kong.
