The Green Food Bank program was launched in Shanghai by the organization OASIS in 2014 and aims to create a bridge between food-surplus and underprivileged people who lack food, consequently reducing food waste and alleviating climate effect and poverty. The origin comes from a preliminary food waste survey that Oasis conducted in July and September of that year which made them realize food waste was a big problem in Shanghai and throughout China, as tens of thousands of food is waster every day around us. The problem is especially serious due to the high density population of the city. This issue had never been addressed in the past and the Green Bank Food’s team has been impressively working on delivering surplus food to underprivileged communities around Shanghai, working towards their dream of a sustainable society with healthy food. Green Food Bank reaches mainly to three distinct populations: the elderly with no pension, families without breadwinner, and people who are disabled or unable to work.

绿色食物银行是由上海绿洲公益在2014年发起的公益项目,该项目旨在建立食品富余者和弱势群体之间的纽带为目标,以减少食品浪费和减弱温室效应和贫穷为最终目的。该项目起源于上海绿洲公益在7月至9月之间发起的调查问卷,他们意识到食品浪费是个严重的问题,不仅仅是在上海甚至是全国,因为每天成千上万的食物被人们所浪费。在高人口密度的城市里,食品浪费问题尤其严重。该问题从来没有被解决,绿色食物银行团队一直致力于将富余食物捐赠给上海和上海周边的贫困社区,为了他们梦想中的可持续发展社会而努力。绿色食物银行主要为三种人群服务:没有退休金的老年人,不能担负生计的家庭,和残疾人士或者没有能力工作的人。

For the Young Bakers, it is a great way to give back to the society through the precious skill they have been learning and they hope to be able to feed more and more people with healthy food in the future!

对于海上青焙坊的学员们来说,这是一个回馈社会的绝佳机会,因为他们能自己所学的烘焙技术去帮助社会,并且他们也希望在未来能够用健康的食品去养活更多的人!
