At the end of the summer, in the Slovenian capital – Ljubljana, a series of social and culinary events called “Kucha Chasti” began. The first edition was introduced by our Črt Butul. https://butul.net/crt/, which is also known for its charity work. Together with Kucha’s representatives, he made surplus culinary delights from surplus food. With each meal purchased, guests donated a meal to socially vulnerable people, and the first event, which was attended by more people than expected, was a success. They collected nearly 150 free meals (exactly 144), distributed to those who cannot afford them. Honestly, noble. Congratulations. https://youtu.be/KoAMdPiPMro
One-third of all food produced globally is discarded, and this is largely unimpaired, edible food. It could be a surplus of farmers’ produce or a by-product of the production of some kind of raw material for which industry has not yet found a solution. Foods that are nearing their expiration date or are at peak ripeness but are classified by the trade as surplus. Perhaps it's just not aesthetically pleasing enough for the shelves.
That’s why we joined the # Kucha Chasti project. “This is a socio-culinary concept that we have worked on together with our brothers from the humanitarian society Food for Life (HZŽ), whose mission is to feed the world’s population fairly. The goal is to provide 200 meals a day within one year. To succeed!” They wrote on http://ffl.si/kucha-casti/
