 ABSTRACT
Wasting food is a common problem in our society. Food waste management is crucial since it can improve
our environmental and economic sustainability. We have identified the use of mobile technology to
reduce food waste management and built an android mobile application that allows individual user or
restaurants to donate and share their foods and leftovers with people in need. In order to reduce that food
wastage problem through android application we planned to do this project.In this project the guest can
login & enter their Location, amount of food and type of food available. Then a simple notification is
given to the agent. After seeing the notification the agent among that location can login & can gather the
details of the donor. The donor can hold an account in this application & whenever there is food wastage
he can login and enter the details of food and location. The agent can also hold an account and can
retrieve the details. After retrieving the details, the agent can collect food from the donor and can
redistribute to the orphans or others.This project is food redistribution is an enormously successful social
innovation that tackles food waste and food poverty. The user’s details are maintained confidential
because it maintains a separate account for each us.
