Hungarian students launched the world’s first online fund-food store – Foodoverflow

The project initiators are only 15 years old; however, they are working on a startup that aims to resolve one of the biggest environmental problems.

The world’s first online fund-food store has been launched, where users can post their redundant food that can be ordered by people in need. As Élőbolygónk.hu describes, the idea of Foodoverflow was created by three Hungarian high school students, and now, the project’s application is also ready.

Thanks to the idea of ​​Hungarian high school students, portions of superfluous food can be saved worldwide. Bence Boér and his partners have already won prestigious international awards for their pioneer idea, but now, the online store has also been launched, which is accessible through an application.

“If someone has excessive amounts of food that would be thrown away, then they can upload it to the website by selecting its category,” explains the designer, Bence Boér, who introduced his project on the show of Kék bolygó (Blue Planet) by M1.

The wide selection of food ranges from prepared meals to different kinds of fruits and several types of pasta. They can be selected by distance, category, and expiration date.

As the Hungarian news portal szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu describes, the idea came spontaneously – the students entered a bakery upon its closing hour and saw that several pastries were still left. They were curious about what happens with the remaining products and were informed that some of them were taken home, but unfortunately, most of them were thrown out.
