'We will give that food to someone who is hungry' |
-BBC Up to one third of the world's food is wasted before it can be eaten. That's 1.3 billion tonnes, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. At the same time up to 793 million people don't get enough nourishment to help them live a healthy life. So, what can be done to fix these two major challenges the world is facing? In India, dabbawalas are using their world-renowned delivery techniques to pass on surplus wedding food to the poor, as Matthew Wheeler and Priti Gupta found out, while in Lebanon, FoodBlessed's "hunger heroes" showed Carolina Valladares and Mohamad Chreyteh their food rescue techniques. The 'Dabbawala Roti Bank', India In Tardeo, in south Mumbai, there is a wedding party taking place, with hundreds of guests working their way through mountains of delicious food. But some guests here are not eating. They are dabbawalas. And although they're off duty, as it's a Saturday afternoon, they are wearing their bright white uniforms and are about to do the job they do best. Unlike the regular paid work they do during the week (when they collect, transport and deliver countless lunchboxes to office workers all over the city), today these dabbawalas are delivering food to Mumbai's poor. As soon as the wedding guests have had their fill, the dabbawalas will take all the food that hasn't been served, pack it up and get it to a nearby street where homeless people are living rough. This is the dabbawala's "Roti Bank" in action. Founded six months' ago by Subhash Talekar, the Roti Bank makes use of the legendary food delivery skills of the dabbawalas to solve the twin problems of hunger and food waste. It's a simple idea that Mr Talekar sums up neatly: "We collect excess food from parties and distribute it in slum areas where people have no food to eat." Another guest at this wedding is Rushikesh Kadam, along with his team of 20 volunteers from his Food For All campaign. His research has shown that, on average, a Mumbai wedding wastes the equivalent of 50 meals. It's an appalling statistic, especially when you consider that, across India, one child in every four is malnourished. So, like Mr Talekar, Mr Kadam is on a mission to eliminate food wastage and, whenever possible, the two organisations are collaborating. Sharing economy "They know where the underprivileged and needy people are in Mumbai," Mr Kadam says. "People get our number from the internet, they contact us and then the dabbawalas who live around that area get a call from the HQ. They then collect and deliver to the needy or underprivileged." News of the Roti Bank initiative has spread rapidly and more and more wedding planners and party organisers are getting in touch every month. "We have around 5,000 dabbawalas," Mr Talekar says.
