Bruised Food Club Uppsala - BFC

29/09/2026

Today is the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste. Bruised Food Club is directly involved and we wanted to share a few reminders.

Today, half of all habitable land on Earth is used for agriculture. Three-fourths of that land is used for meat production. Enormous amounts of fresh water is used to produce food on this scale. This comes at the expense of all other life and thus, biodiversity as such. Producing goods on this scale is responsible for at least a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions per year. At the same time, out of all food produced, about one third is wasted. This is a worldwide phenomenon, especially in richer countries like Sweden. By “wasted”, we mean all edible goods that never get eaten by people, nor by other animals; instead, the food is discarded at some point between growing and eating it.

Today is a reminder to all of us that feeding ourselves is a multi-layered challenge. It is not just an environmental, but a logistical and moral one as well. If we intend to sustain life on the planet, it is our responsibility to care for it.

Excerpts taken and from our two articles we did for the Uppsala newspaper Techna. Page 20 in both editions!

What is it about?

How can games and gamification make learning more engaging and interactive? In this hands-on workshop, we will explore the concept of gamification, look at examples of games used in education, and then experience it ourselves through a game. We will end with a reflection on how playful approaches could be adapted to teaching at CEMUS (Villavägen 16, Uppsala). Open to course coordinators and anyone interested in exploring new ways of teaching and engaging people.

Dear everyone, unfortunately, we have to cancel our annual apple event because of a lack of available volunteers. We are very sorry! Next year, we intend to try organising this event again.

Kära alla, tyvärr måste vi ställa in vårt årliga äppelevenemang på grund av brist på frivilliga. Vi beklagar verkligen! Nästa år har vi för avsikt att försöka anordna evenemanget igen.

SAVE UPPSALA APPLES, TOGETHER!

Every year, thousands of apples go to waste — but together we can change that!
On September 20th, we’re gathering at Föreningen Verkstan RSMH, from 11:00–17:00 to celebrate the apple harvest, reduce food waste, and enjoy the taste of freshly pressed juice.

We’ll be pressing fresh apple juice on site, available for a small fee — your purchase helps support future events and keeps community activities like this alive.
:point_right:Don’t forget to bring your own bottles! If you forget, we’ll have some for sale at the event.

It’s a day to meet new friends, save local apples, and share the flavours of autumn.
Bring friends, family, or just yourself — everyone is welcome!
This project is supported by Studieförbundet Bilda.
