Freegan

On the 3rd of February 2016, French parliament adopted a series of measures against food waste. Including in particular, provisions to prevent supermarkets from throwing food and make the unsold unfit for human consumption. However, some have not waited for the law to fight against food waste. Since November 2015, an unusual canteen, the Freegan Pony, has been occupying former premises of Porte de la Villette in Paris, under the ring road. Created on the initiative of a group of young people, the restaurant offers vegetarian menus made with the daily unsold of the Rungis market.
