Problem
Food waste leads to large amounts of perfectly edible produce being discarded, while consumers often lack affordable, convenient access to organic, locally sourced groceries. This results in higher prices for bio products and missed opportunities to support sustainable producers.
Solution
Benebono operates an online platform that curates and delivers “anti‑gaspi” grocery baskets composed of surplus but high‑quality organic fruits, vegetables, and other food items rescued from producers. Customers select a weekly basket from the available rescued items, which are sourced directly from short‑chain, environmentally committed farms. The service offers flexible, no‑commitment subscriptions that can be paused or adjusted at any time, ensuring convenience and price transparency. By selling these rescued goods at up to 40 % less than standard organic retail prices, Benebono reduces food waste, supports local agriculture, and provides consumers with affordable, sustainable food options delivered to their door.
