Second Prize Winning Entry, 2023 Good Food - University Student Case Analysis Report Competition 

Abstract

Green Food Bank envisions “building a food bank network in China” and is committed to the mission of “zero food waste, community sustainable development, and food for all”. It breaks the imbalance between food waste and food insufficiency, and promotes the proper handling of surplus food through activities such as sharing surplus food from supermarkets, food saving and sharing, and distributing “nutritional food boxes”. In 2021 alone, Green Food Bank has collected a total of 409 tons of donated food that was worth 15.51 million RMB, reducing the carbon emission by 7807.72 tons. This achievement showed a win-win scenario of economic, social, and environmental benefits based on food waste reduction.
