- In Australia, the nonprofit organization SecondBite facilitates food donation by linking farmers and retailers with community groups and food banks.
- SecondBite effectively functions as a broker, first collecting food from donors and then distributing it among community groups that are already aware of where hunger and malnutrition are most prevalent.
- In this way, SecondBite draws upon existing knowledge and expertise of other organizations to further its mission.
- SecondBite also works with state governments in Australia to introduce Good Samaritan Acts to promote food donation.
- In 2012, SecondBite rescued and redirected 3,000 metric tons of fresh food that otherwise would have been lost or wasted.
