HUNGER BRIDGE: An Android application which connects the supermarkets and the NGOS to donate close to expiry date items

Abstract

This abstract introduces an innovative app-based solution designed to effectively redistribute surplus close-to expiry dates food to NGOs, aligned with the principles of Zero Hunger. The solution offers a streamlined platform that connects food suppliers with nearby NGOs, optimizing the allocation of food resources. Real-time matching algorithms ensure accurate distribution, while transparent tracking enhances accountability and safety. The app fosters a collaborative community, providing educational resources and capacity-building for NGOs. By leveraging technology and sustainable practices, this solution not only minimizes food waste but also contributes significantly to the overarching goal of achieving Zero Hunger. Transparency is upheld through tracking mechanisms, fostering trust and accountability among all stakeholders. By promoting collaboration, offering educational resources, and collecting data for continuous improvement, the app transcends traditional food delivery models. This innovative approach not only aligns with Zero Hunger principles but also represents a pivotal step toward a more sustainable and food-secure future.
