We are experiencing unprecedented waste as we consume more and use less. Spare Harvest brings local communities together to share, swap or sell what they have spare in their kitchens, gardens and farms. Spare Harvest uses technology to take us back to a time when we shared our resources, bought less and connected more. Produce, plants, tools, time, land and jams are some of the items exchanged.
