Anne-Charlotte Mornington (Olio) - The app fighting food waste with community-powered technology

Food waste. An issue that is becoming almost impossible to ignore, and for good reason. Some studies estimate that 2.5 billion tonnes of food are wasted every year. That's enough for 5.8 TRILLION meals. Olio, is an app using the power of community to tackle this huge problem. Olio connects you with your local community to share excess food through an easy-to-use app, for free. Olio has facilitated the sharing of 75 million portions of food in 62 countries to date.
