Thankfully millennials love technology and found ways to make food re-distribution easier for everyone to participate in, including producers. In this fast life we live in, no better way than through an app can excess food be declared open for pick-up and distribution. The Guardian selected their favorite apps, check out our favorites below:

1) Yo No Desperdicio (Spain)

This Spanish app is about posting photos of food you don't want anymore, as well as the location of pickup, allowing users to swap food instead of throwing it away.

2) NoFoodWasted (Netherlands)

This app alerts shoppers when food in supermarkets is about to expire or get thrown out, encouraging users to buy it or pick it up for free.

3) 11th Hour (Singapore)

The app shows discounted menu items of restaurants right before they close, around 11PM in Singapore.

4) FoodCloud (UK)

This app lets charities in the UK and Ireland know when there is a surplus of food in supermarkets and farms, the surplus is donated.

5) Wise Up On Waste (Europe)

This app is for European commercial kitchens. Kitchens can track how much food is wasted from each meal and adapt portion sizes accordingly. This particularly useful for commercial use as companies could save a lot of money by reducing waste.

If your geography is not listed, surely there is a local initiative or app to help you do your part. So open your app store, find the right app, and start saving food from going to the landfill, your pocket will be grateful for it too.
