Abstract

Today, most countries of the world are implementing various initiatives aimed at creating a closed economy, rational using natural resources, protecting the environment and natural biodiversity, developing reasonable ways of producing, selling and consuming food. Due to the growing concern about hunger, food waste has increased significantly in many countries and has become a global problem. Sharing food is the solution to this problem, as long as the right system has been developed to help implement it. As a convenient basis, it is called the food sharing economy. Food sharing can help reduce food waste, which is an important environmental problem in Russia.
