Carrefour Belgium joins the ranks of transparency!
After Carrefour France, we're delighted to have convinced Carrefour Belgium to share its data with Open Food Facts. This new partnership brings nearly 2,500 new products to the database, and will therefore contribute to the development of the project in Belgium! :-)
The money will be used for
For more than 10 years, Open Food Facts has been unearthing earmarked funding for projects without too much difficulty.
The challenge is that the permanent team spends a substantial amount of time animating the community, supporting manufacturers, and more generally maintaining and sustaining the commons.
The difts will be a precious resource to help us finance the association's day-to-day operations and be more serene about the future.
