Žabac Food Outlet: A leader in sustainable trade and bee conservation

How one store changes the world, one step at a time

Nowadays, when global challenges such as climate change and loss of biodiversity are increasingly present, and according to the FAO report, 1/3 of produced food ends up in the trash, it is important to highlight companies that make positive changes through their business. Žabac Food Outlet is one such example. This innovative store not only fights against food waste, but also contributes to social sustainability by reducing food prices and recently supports pollinators and biodiversity through the Oprashi project.

Commitment to Reducing Food Waste

Instead of throwing away unsold or damaged products, Žabac buys them from other entities in the production and sales chain at reduced prices. This practice not only helps to conserve resources, but also provides customers with access to quality food at better prices. In this way, Žabac contributes to the reduction of the ecological footprint and encourages a more sustainable way of consumption.

One of the key ways in which Žabac achieves its goals is through careful planning and a creative approach to inventory management. Any product that is not sold in time gets a second chance through a donation program or is sold at even lower prices to avoid waste and reduce waste. These strategies not only reduce waste but also help the community, providing access to food even for those who might not be able to afford some products at regular prices.

Support for beekeeping and biodiversity maintenance

Žabac Food Outlet does not stop only at preventing food waste. In order to further contribute to the preservation of the ecosystem, Žabac recently adopted five beehives in cooperation with Oprashi. This initiative not only increases the bee pool, but also significantly contributes to pollinators, which are crucial for food production, biodiversity and ecosystem health.

Bees play a vital role in plant pollination, which is essential for food production and the preservation of natural habitats. By adopting beehives, Žabac not only promotes awareness of the importance of bees, but also ensures that their activities are directed towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly business. Bees pollinate many types of plants that are essential to our diet, including grains, fruits, vegetables and nuts, thereby contributing to the preservation of biodiversity.

Through the Oprashi initiative, Žabac also establishes cooperation with local beekeepers, which supports the local economy and provides the market with quality honey and bee products. This collaboration enables beekeepers to improve their business, while at the same time contributing to the preservation of local bee colonies.

Žabac Food Outlet is an example of a company that not only recognizes the importance of sustainability, but actively works to improve the ecosystem and living standards of the local community. Their dedication to reducing food waste and support for beekeeping significantly contribute to the preservation of biodiversity and the sustainability of our planet. Thanks to their initiatives, we can learn about the importance of sustainable business and hope for a better and greener future.

Well done to Žabac for their support of the Oprashi initiative and their efforts to become even greener. Together we can really do a lot to preserve our environment and ensure a better future for all of us. And that’s why we encourage other companies to follow their example in creating a more sustainable future. 🌱🐝💚
