Specifically, FoodCloud connects restaurants, markets and supermarkets with edible surplus close to expiry dates, or damaged\u00a0fruit and, vegetables, with charitable organizations who can offer this still good and healthy food to people in need. Presented by Isolde, young Irish, this approach makes an intelligent and non-intrusive use of\u00a0mobile technologies (the famous &#8220;apps&#8221;) that embodies this idea in an agile and efficient system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Stolen apples<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Uncollected fruits of some gardens in some countries and regions are an untapped resource, not only for food security but also for the employment of people sometimes distant from work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Apleslang\" href=\"http:\/\/epleslang.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Apleslang<\/strong><\/a>, &#8220;Stolen apples&#8221; in\u00a0Norwegian, was born from the observation, made by one of Anne&#8217;s three daughters (Anne is founder of the company), that most apples individual from gardens Oslo were not eaten. Instead, they are sometimes a nuisance during maturity when they fall and rot in the gardens or the streets.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-5968\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pierrejohnson.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Epleslang-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pierrejohnson.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Epleslang-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.pierrejohnson.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Epleslang.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>The idea then arose to give the opportunity to people with the Down syndrome to work at the collecting, processing as\u00a0juice and selling of those apples. This activity has already created four jobs, allowing people with disabilities to work at their own pace, to anchor themselves more or less expressive in nature, without anybody seeing wrong to it. No inhabitant of Oslo has ever asked to be paid for their apples!<\/p>\n<p>An example of &#8220;frugal innovation&#8221;, Anne&#8217;s personal investment\u00a0\u00a0to launch this project was 2000 euros. We can measure the intelligence and value-added of this initiative, when we know that creating a job in France costs 100 000 euros at least to the community.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Portraits SOIAeu \u00a9 Pierre Johnson 3\/4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 659px; left: 295px;\">Enregistrer<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 1096px; left: 441px;\">Enregistrer<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our third chronicle of the European Social Innovation Assembly (SOIA) in Amsterdam is dedicated to the answer to food waste.
