A food processing plant can be built in Budapest
Mayor Gergely Karácsony announced yesterday that the leadership of Budapest applied to create a food processing plant at Budapest’s Wholesale Market in the city’s 23rd district (Soroksár). He said they would like to win 1 million American dollars for the project from the Bloomberg Philanthropies.
Karácsony said several ingredients become non-marketable due to different reasons. For example, their outlook is no longer desirable. However, such vegetables or fruits are still healthy and consumable.
Therefore, the leadership of the capital would like to build a food processing plant to use such ingredients to cook healthy dishes for people in need and the inhabitants of social care institutions.
Karácsony said that is how they would like to take a step towards the creation of a sustainable and socially committed Hungarian capital. He added they would like to reduce food waste and save healthy vegetables and fruits for consumption.
