Our vision
A Lebanon where food is valued, not wasted.
Where every campus, kitchen, and community treats sustainability as a shared habit, and inspires others to grow greener alongside us.
Food waste initiative · Beirut, Lebanon
Turning waste into worth.
We work with students, restaurants, and households to keep food scraps out of landfill and return them to the soil as compost.
Who we are
Lettus Grow Greener is a Lebanese environmental initiative tackling food waste through education, student engagement and practical solutions that return scraps to the soil.
Our mission
Reduce food waste through people and partnerships.
Education, youth engagement, and practical work with universities, restaurants, and households, turning small everyday actions into lasting environmental impact.
Our mission
Four pillars driving our impact.
Raise awareness
Campaigns, workshops, and educational initiatives on the environmental and social impact of food waste, encouraging more responsible consumption.
Engage youth
Working with universities and youth groups so students become sustainability leaders and take action on food waste across their campuses and communities.
Support composting
Promoting food waste segregation and composting solutions that turn organic waste into compost instead of sending it to landfill.
Build partnerships
Partnering with universities, restaurants, municipalities, and organisations to build practical systems that reduce food waste across Lebanon.
