Urban NEXUS Case Story: Feeding the 5K

The Case of Linking Food Producers and Retailers for the Efficient Management of Surplus Harvest

In an effort to combat high levels of food waste while reducing food insecurity in London and around the world, Feeding the 5K works across organizational and sectoral boundaries in the food sector by creating a platform that allows for food that would otherwise be wasted at the production, retail, and consumer levels to instead be distributed to people in need.

The Urban NEXUS project 2013-2014 was funded by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). ICLEI, as implementing partner of the Urban NEXUS project, is responsible for the content of this case story.
