Field Marketing Internship (duration to be defined)

Did you know that in Belgium we throw away 7 tons of food that is still edible per minute? While access to food is often far too expensive or impossible for a large part of the population...

Faced with this observation, we have decided to roll up our sleeves by proposing a new management of unsold food in order to fight against food waste and facilitate access to a varied diet for all.

With our distribution network, all unsold products have a second life! Every day, we collect products from Belgian distributors at the end of their sales date. Part of it is sold at half price to individuals via our App, the other part is delivered every day and free of charge to charities.

Today, we are active in Brussels where food insecurity and waste are still far from being solved. We therefore want to strengthen our solution within Brussels, and in all regions where unsold products are waiting to be saved.

For that, we need you!
