Zachraň jídlo

Zachraň jídlo is a Czech organization working to reduce food waste and promote greater respect for food. It aims to make wasting food socially unacceptable through research, education, public campaigns and advocacy for systemic change. The organization measures food waste and uses the findings to inform practical improvements, while sharing advice, recipes and resources to help people waste less at home.

Its projects connect surplus food with people who need it. Through Zachraň oběd, it helps arrange the donation of uneaten meals from company cafeterias to social facilities, and it has established practices for donating surplus meals from cafeterias and catering businesses. The organization also reports contributing to changes in rules on food donation and helping make the sale of imperfect vegetables more common in supermarkets.

Zachraň jídlo offers tailored workshops, seminars and team-building activities for companies, nonprofits, social enterprises and employee groups. Its current work includes initiatives focused on reducing waste in school cafeterias and improving access to food.
