Prof. Decker as an expert in the ZDF magazine WISO

Can apps help prevent food waste? Prof. Dr. Alexander Decker, Professor of Consumer Goods Marketing and New Media at THI Business School, commented on this in a feature for the ZDF magazine WISO. His conclusion: especially in more rural regions, there are usually not enough participants who use the apps, so that swapping or giving away food hardly works at all or only sluggishly. The situation is different in large cities such as Berlin or Munich, where distances are often shorter and picking up food from a wide variety of locations can be worthwhile. Decker therefore calls on everyone to register for such apps and motivate others to reduce food waste.
