Fresh water is a precious resource that’s becoming increasingly scarce. As we celebrate World Water day it’s important to remember that access to clean water and sanitation is a basic human right. Unfortunately millions around the world still lack access to these essential resources. That’s why the UN has included clean water and sanitation as one of its Sustainable Development Goals (SDG6).

Agriculture alone accounts for up to 70% of global water use, which is why it’s more important than ever to reduce water waste.

One way you can do your part, is by choosing to consume local produce that might otherwise go to waste. By doing so, we are helping conserve water, support our local producers all while support SDGs.

We would love to know more in the comment section below, about your actions at home or your everyday habits to combat water waste ⬇️⬇️

Grateful for the opportunity to join the Food Waste Hackathon by & UNDP Cyprus] as a panelist! It’s crucial that we address food waste, not only for sustainability, but also to combat hunger.

It was great connecting with like minded individuals, meeting the other panelists and hearing about their great initiatives


It was also a great pleasure to meet the Ambassador of Sweden Mr Martin & Germany and the Head of Office of UNDP Cyprus]

Our story

We love fruits and veggies but hate waste!

Did you know that every year around 4,000 tonnes of our fresh produce in Cyprus goes to waste before reaching the consumer due to aesthetic requirements and overproduction. Our growing concern of climate change and the need to minimise food waste in Cyprus, is what inspired us to begin this journey.

We rescue fresh fruits and veggies unwanted by supermarkets that would otherwise end up in landfills and deliver them straight to your door.

We work closely with the local farmers’ cooperatives to deliver only the freshest produce to your door. Driven by the belief that every person has the right to eat healthy and every fruit and veg grown deserves to be eaten, our mission is to tackle produce waste and become part of the solution.
