Food Print |Business & Enterprise/Supply & Demand

Supply means when you make or get something wanted and is going to sell the product. Demand means a request or command made by someone or how many people want to buy it at the set price. We had a visitor come in and talk about her company and how it started.

Her name is Michal. Michal is the founder of app and business called Foodprint. Michal first worked at a hotel, where they had had served food. She noticed that there was a lot of food wasted and nobody thought anything of it. She traveled a lot to see the damage we are putting into the earth. She decided to change this.

She started a business plan for two years about the app. The hardest part that she had to decide about was her logo and name for the company. Her first three logos looked really similar to other online apps. The name that she had decided on was FoodPrint. She had some help from friends and other.

Six months ago, Michal had finally released the app. It's a app for people to buy food that is 50% off and the food would've have been gone to waste. Michal first talked about how waste can create climate change, and how we can reduce it by using her app. There are 250 cafe's on the app.

I also learnt that each year we waste 1.3 billion tons of food. The food that is mostly wasted is Bread. In New Zealand we waste 20 million pieces of bread each year. 

I think that we need more people like Michal, because if we keep on carrying on with wasting food, the future won't be any better.
