Apply your knowledge to build something amazing!
Mission: Build a comprehensive mobile platform that connects food surplus with food insecurity, creating sustainable community-driven solutions to urban hunger while reducing food waste.
Target SDG Goals:
Challenge Statement: Over 828 million people worldwide face hunger while 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted annually. In urban areas, 1 in 8 people experience food insecurity despite proximity to abundant food resources that go unused. Traditional food assistance programs often lack real-time coordination, community engagement, and efficient distribution mechanisms.
