Food waste is not only an ethical or economic issue but it also has tremendous environmental implications. FoodCloud is a food sharing hub that could be placed in vacant lots in every city and aims to benefit the neighborhood socially and environmentally with food redistribution.When someone has surplus food could give it away either by visiting the hub or requesting a pick-up through the app.Afterwards, the items are being checked and sorted and either moved to the store, to the kitchen or to the storage.Everyday there is a menu, offered at a very low-price to ensure that the hub is self-sufficient. Leftovers are being composted and then used as fertilizer for the small garden.People can go to FoodCloud to leave the extra food, enjoy a well-prepared meal with friends and neighbors, take a free food item that they need from the store, participate in workshops or cook for the neighborhood.Architecture, by creating places for social interaction can fight against climate change.
