Unfortunately, this idea was not selected

Unfortunately, the idea did not receive enough votes in the poll and will therefore not proceed to the next phase.

However, the project team and the City of Zurich are reviewing all submitted ideas once again to identify potential synergies with other projects. Perhaps your idea could be implemented even without additional support? Please consider whether you would like to pursue the idea further.

If you’d like to continue getting involved in the pilot neighbourhood, you can also help develop one of the 26 selected ideas. To do so, contact the idea proposers directly or write to mitmachen@pilotquartier.ch.

Foodsave Hub

Idea not chosen
What should be created?
A Foodsave Hub - A place where surplus food can be distributed for consumption, preserved for longer or upcycled. All businesses that have to do with food (grocery stores, bakeries, catering establishments incl. canteens of hospitals, homes, etc.) can (have them added) their surplus but still consumable products to the Foodsave Hub. There they are either offered to the residents of the neighbourhood for consumption or made more durable in the kitchen available in the hub (e.g. jam, preserves, dumplings made from bread from the previous day, freezing in large freezers, etc.). The end products are then offered for consumption, e.g. also in an affiliated coffee or similar, which offers soups, cakes, etc. from the advances. Consumption takes place for a symbolic amount (so that the surpluses have a "value"), which benefits the operation of the Foodsave Hub. However, the Foodsave Hub is operated by volunteers, e.g. sheltered workplaces could also be set up. The food is transported to the Foodsave Hub along a predefined route (along the participating businesses) at around 5:00 p.m. with electric vehicles / cargo bikes. The companies give away their surpluses free of charge, but do not have to dispose of them in return and are committed to a good cause.
