Inspiration
Households often waste significant amounts of food, while many individuals face hunger. The FoodForward Android application aims to connect near-expiry groceries with NGOs and non-profit organizations that support homeless and vulnerable populations.
What it does
FoodForward utilizes generative AI to streamline the process of reading grocery receipts, creating an inventory of food items without the complexity of OCR. Users can filter their inventory into three categories: fresh, near-expiry, and expired. They can select items to receive AI-generated recipes, which can be saved, printed, or reviewed.
Additionally, users can donate near-expiry items to NGOs and non-profits, effectively reducing food waste while addressing hunger and fostering a sustainable community.
How we built it
Built with love and passion using NVIDIA AI Workbench, Flutter, Java Spring boot and Python.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Coming up with an idea for sustainability in the food industry and building a prototype for the foodforward distributed system.
What's next for FoodForward
We would like to deploy the app, backend api and ai scripts on the cloud for control users.
