Swapato: A Community Credit System for Food Exchange & Waste Reduction
Kurzbeschreibung
Swapato.ch is a platform enabling cashless, credit-based exchange of surplus fruits and vegetables among "prosumers," particularly tenants of shared community gardens. By facilitating the redistribution of overproduction, we directly reduce food waste while fostering local micro-agriculture. A localized credit system allows to standardize value, encouraging social interaction and knowledge sharing. Future iterations will expand to service exchange, creating resilient, low-carbon neighborhood ecosystems.
