Freeganism is the practice of reclaiming and consuming

food that has been discarded. Freeganism is seen as part of

a wider “anti-consumerist” ideology. Freegans often employ

a range of alternative living based on minimal consumption.

The goal of the FMS conference is to apply the freegan practice of

“reclaiming” to redistribute healthy foods from wealthy communities

that have access to resources andlarge waste. They redistribute

the food to poor communities that lack healthy resources.
