Food swap
Food swaps are events where members of a local community meet up to share homemade, homegrown, and foraged foods with each other. Apart from diversifying their larders and redistributing surpluses and gluts, they provide opportunities for building stronger communities, and picking up tips. No money changes hands. Attendees bring items that they wish to swap and then bid for each other's produce, either verbally or on cards in the form of a silent auction, until suitable swaps are negotiated. Often attendees bring extra items either as free samples or as contributions to a potluck lunch or tea, so that there is more time to get to know each other, exchange gossip and pass on tips.
==History==
Food has been swapped and traded since prehistoric times, from cacao beans to spices, fresh-killed meat to foraged berries. The Food Swap Network started in Brooklyn, New York in 2010,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.foodswapnetwork.com/about-us/ )〕 and 125 groups have been established across the US and Canada, as well as in Europe including the UK.〔 'Apples for Eggs' is a produce-sharing network set up in the UK in 2011. 'Apples for Eggs' has 159 registered swappers and organises events in York, Ormskirk, Henley, Stoke, and Brampton in Cumbria. There are similar events in Brazil, Denmark, France and the Netherlands.
