Over 500 people saved ugly parsnips in Lier.

Five hundred volunteers collected misshapen parsnips in Lier. The parsnips were not good enough to sell. This helped reduce food waste.

The project took place in the city of Lier. People collected parsnips that supermarkets did not want. These parsnips were not perfect in shape or appearance. The goal was to stop food from being thrown away. The volunteers showed that even 'ugly' food is useful.
