An English version follows
FoodHero est une application qui met en relation les marchands et les consommateurs afin de vendre des surplus alimentaires qui seraient autrement jetés. Grâce à sa plateforme de type marketplace, FoodHero permet de réduire le gaspillage alimentaire tout en aidant les marchands et les consommateurs à économiser, au bénéfice de la planète.
Les aliments sont souvent envoyés au dépotoir en raison de dates de péremption imminentes, de produits imparfaits ou de surplus d'inventaire. Parallèlement, la hausse constante du coût des aliments pousse les consommateurs à rechercher des solutions pour réduire leur facture d'épicerie.
Le principe est simple : offrir des produits invendus, mais toujours propres à la consommation, à des rabais allant de 30 % à 60 %.

FoodHero is an app that connects merchants and consumers to sell surplus food that would otherwise be discarded. Through its easy-to-use marketplace platform, FoodHero helps reduce food waste while allowing merchants and consumers to save money — all while making a positive impact on the planet.
Food is often sent to landfill due to impending expiry dates, imperfect produce, or unsold surplus inventory. At the same time, rising food prices are driving consumers to seek new ways to reduce their grocery bills without sacrificing quality.
The idea is simple: offer unsold but still perfectly consumable food at discounts ranging from 25% to 60%.
