Globally, more than ⅓ of food is wasted.
Food waste is responsible for 10% of greenhouse gases, and we use a landmass the size of China to produce food we end up throwing away.

Too Good To Go App allows you to buy unsold products (close to their expiration date) in a "magic box" container.

<=======================>

La produzione del cibo è responsabile del 10% dell'emissioni di gas serra prodotte a livello mondiale.

Inoltre circa 1/3 del cibo viene sprecato
