PROJECT DURATION: 5 weeks
1. Understanding the actual problem —
Across the world, one-third of all the food produced is wasted which amounts to a staggering $400 billion annually.
Some facts I found out about food wastage in Indian context:
Bangalore alone wastes 943 tonnes of quality food during weddings. ‘Enough to feed 2.6 crore people a normal Indian meal.’
About 10–20% of the food in Indian Weddings and other such social occasions is wasted.
75% of restaurants have 10–20% extra preparation.
50 kg food wastage/person in India.
On the other hand:
India accounted for 22% of the global burden of food insecurity — the highest for any nation — in 2017–19.
India ranks 107/121 countries, with a serious level of hunger. (2022 Global Hunger Index)
An estimated 931 million tonnes of food thrown away by households, restaurants and other food services around the world, in 2019.
By working on this app I attempt to addresses the critical issue of food wastage and hunger by creating a seamless connection between restaurants and hunger spots in local communities. By leveraging technology, Hungry Platter will enable restaurants to donate excess food to NGOs and communities, reducing wastage and supporting the hungry/needy.
While there are many NGOs working for getting donation from weddings and similar big gatherings, there’s no easy way for them to reach out to these parties who are ready to volunteer for providing the surplus food for the needy.
