Zero Hunger: Smart Food Distribution Platform

Abstract: The Zero Hunger – Food Sharing System is a web-based platform designed to reduce food wastage and support equitable food distribution by connecting surplus food donors with individuals in need. Large amounts of edible food are wasted daily due to the absence of an organized sharing mechanism, while many people struggle to access basic meals. This system addresses the gap by enabling donors to upload food details such as quantity, type, and location, and allowing receivers to easily search and request available food through a user-friendly interface.

The platform incorporates real-time listings, location-based search, secure authentication, and donation status tracking to ensure efficient and transparent food redistribution. By utilizing modern web technologies, the system improves coordination between users and minimizes food loss. Overall, the solution contributes to social welfare and aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 2) – Zero Hunger by promoting sustainable and responsible food-sharing practices.
