Fondazione Banco Alimentare Onlus (FBAO) is non-profit organization that promotes – and is committed to – the recovery and collection of food surpluses and food products, redistributed to a network of partner charities which directly support people in need across Italy. Banco Alimentare, which is composed of FBAO and 21 Regional Food Banks (OBA) recovers foodstuffs that are still perfectly edible but have lost their commercial value and, thus, would become waste. Through its mission, Banco Alimentare contributes to the achievement of two Sustainable Development Goals defined in the UN Agenda 2030: Goal 2 “Zero Hunger” and Goal 12 “Responsible Consumption and Production”, by fighting against food insecurity and promoting virtuous actions for the reduction of food waste.
