Project
summary
BreadAlert
aims to Minimize Food Waste and eliminate food poverty by routing surplus
food to those that need in, within the local area.
BreadAlert
aims to allow food ‘producers’ (supermarkets, food processing plants, farms,
convenience stores, bakers etc.) to easily distribute their surplus to food
‘consumers’ (charities, food banks, food kitchens, individuals) that need it,
with the goal being to DRAMATICALLY increase the amount of surplus food that
goes to those in need rather than going to landfill or be used as animal feed.
BreadAlert
will provide a platform (accessed through the web, smartphone apps or SMS) that
will allow such consumers to be alerted of available food within their local
area, and minimize the effort of distributing that food.
One of
the biggest areas of food waste is at the consumer level, but common sense
would suggest that in due course individual households would be allowed to
redistribute their surplus food; BreadAlert could be used for that too.
