This study has been a pilot study aiming at developing methodologies for studying food redistribution and conducting pilot studies to test the methodologies and get some preliminary results. The study has documented a need to go deeper into the issue in a following-up study and to get a more comprehensive and complete picture of the activities going on in each country. The organisations foresee an increased demand for free meals served and food bags given to low-income clients in the future, and this is likely to further increase the need for food donations.
