Growing a food conscious community, one bite at a time.

FoodHack is an events, media and content platform for all things related to Swiss food. At FoodHack, we bring passionate people together under one roof so that they can imagine, shape and create solutions to our food challenges.

Our community of FoodHackers are researchers, developers, designers, makers, hustlers and passionate people who are working towards a more sustainable future of food.

Find out more about upcoming events, our annual food hackathon or how you or your company can get involved.

Annual Hackathon

FoodHack 2016 last October brought 50 people from across Switzerland to come together and build solutions and prototypes to reduce food waste and food emissions. Find out more about our participants, our partners and what we achieved altogether.

@foodhackch is Switzerland’s entry point for food and drink entrepreneurs. Through regular meetups, dinners, events and online content, FoodHack is working to create a food conscious community, providing the tools for entrepreneurs to get started and go from idea to impact. :
:
Q-What was your motivation to start your company?
FoodHack started as a passion project by myself and co-founder Camille Bossel. We paired our love for food with our technical skills from our design and events agency, OneRoof, to launch Switzerland’s first food hackathon in summer 2016.
We set out with two main goals
1. Create awareness and bring people together around an important topic (food waste in Switzerland)
2. Use FoodHack as a way to announce and source clients for our agency, OneRoof.
:
Q-As an entrepreneur, you are sometimes criticized by your consumers. How do you handle criticism?
Hands down the best way to handle criticism is to listen to the what the person criticizing you has to say. Take some time to consider it, see the problem from their perspective and reply in an honest and empathic way. By applying this method, you’re almost always likely to find a middle ground and come to a solution where both parties are happy.
A great example of this was recently when someone called us out on an article we wrote that they believed went against our stand on sustainability.
In fact, they were right, the article could have offered more sustainable options. We admitted our mistake, thanked them for voicing their opinion and invited this person to a meeting so that they could help us shape our FoodHack manifesto moving forward. :
