Mission & Interests
Goals: Boroume (“We Can”) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to reduce food waste and to fight malnutrition in Greece.
Through our “Saving & Offering Food” program we save food on a daily basis from many sources and we offer it to charities that help people who are facing food insecurity.
Starting in 2011, today we save & offer the equivalent of more than 35.000 portions of food on a daily basis. Since the beginning of our action we have saved & offered more than 80 million portions of food to hundreds of welfare organizations and charities all over Greece.
We approach the issue of food waste holistically through the following programs:
• “Stop Food Waste”: increasing awareness about food waste
• “Boroume at School”: educational program
• “Boroume Gleaning”: reducing food waste on the field
• “Boroume at the Farmers’: gleaning program
• “National Alliance Against Food Waste": the Greek voluntary agreement aiming to reduce food waste
• “No Food Waste" certification
