New food sharing app is tackling the problem of food waste in Australia.

OLIO is the world's only neighbour-to-neighbour food sharing app which connects people with local shops and cafes in an effort to eliminate food waste. Users are able to exchange food with one another rather than throwing it away. 

App user Sian Lewis says the initiative is a satisfying reassertion of community and caring. 

The app is free to use and is accessible to any smart phone.
