HUNGER HALT

A Solution Challenge 2023 Project


Overview

Food waste and hunger are major global issues. Around one-third of food produced for human consumption is wasted annually, while an estimated 690 million people suffer from hunger daily. These problems are interlinked and require a comprehensive approach.

What our project does for the same?

Our project aims to address the issues of food waste and hunger by creating a platform that connects users with NGOs/Retreate centres that are dedicated to feeding the hungry and providing food to those in need. By facilitating these connections, we hope to contribute to the achievement of food security and minimize the problem of food wastage.

Our goals include providing reliable and sustainable food sources to those in need, reducing food waste by channeling it to those who can use it, and raising awareness and encouraging action on the issues of food waste and hunger.

The idea for the Hunger Halt project arose from our realization that food wastage and the number of people who go hungry every day are closely linked. We wanted to do something to address this issue by creating a platform that would enable people to provide food to those in need and contribute to a good cause in their own way.
