Ernst Bertone and two fellow UC Davis graduate students began their
experiment last fall with a simple idea: Build a closer community and
reduce food waste by sharing food with their neighbors. They placed a
community refrigerator on their lawn, called the project “free.go” and
watched it take off...
But the food sharing project quickly ran afoul of state health and
safety codes and was unplugged late last year by Yolo County health
officials amid food safety concerns...
Bertone said (he had thee) idea before coming to UC Davis in
2012 for graduate school. “It was in Romania. We were talking about
food waste at the time. When I came to Davis for grad school, it was the
perfect moment.”
