Food Rescue is an innovative platform connecting restaurants and supermarkets with charitable organizations to redistribute surplus food to those in need. If the food is spoiled, our system links these businesses with local farmers to transform waste into compost. 🌍♻️
Our mission aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), tackling food waste in India through technology-driven solutions. 🚀
Our solution is built using:
- Frontend: Flutter 📱
- Backend: Supabase 🔥
- Database: PostgreSQL 🛢️
- Cloud Storage: Supabase Storage ☁️
- AI Integration (Upcoming): To analyze food freshness and prevent waste using ML models 🤖
The architecture follows a scalable and modular approach, ensuring:
- Separation of Concerns: Clear distinction between frontend, backend, and database.
- Secure Data Handling (Upcoming): Authentication and authorization managed via Supabase.
- Real-time Data Sync: Leveraging Supabase’s real-time capabilities.
Food Rescue is designed to scale efficiently with:
- Cloud-based backend (Supabase) allowing seamless horizontal scaling.
- Flutter's cross-platform nature ensuring compatibility across iOS and Android.
- Modular code structure facilitating future enhancements like AI integration and automation.
- Tech Stack Availability: Open-source and cost-effective technologies.
- Low Infrastructure Cost: Managed services like Supabase reduce maintenance efforts.
Our project directly contributes to reducing food waste, with a two-fold impact:
- Social Impact: Supporting underprivileged communities by redistributing surplus food.
- Environmental Impact: Preventing food waste from reaching landfills and promoting composting solutions for farmers.
By integrating AI-powered food spoilage detection, we aim to further optimize food redistribution and minimize waste.
- Intuitive UI/UX: A seamless interface built with Flutter for smooth user interactions.
- Accessibility: Designed for all users, including restaurant managers, charities, and farmers.
- Real-time Notifications: Users get instant updates on food availability and requests.
✅ Core features implemented: Matching system between businesses and charities
✅ Supabase backend integration
