Comment

Formal problem statement (200 words)

Climate Action (SDG 13)

Definition of the target

Climate change is a change in the common weather found in a location, which can be measured as a difference in how much rain a place usually gets in a year or a change in a location's normal temperature for a month or season.

Leftover food is defined as consumables that remain unused or unconsumed.

Greenhouse Emission refers to the emission of greenhouse-affective gases into the Earth's atmosphere.

Brief Description

In 2018, the total food wastage generated is up to 763,100 tonnes in Singapore.[1] Food waste accounts for about 10 per cent of the total waste generated in Singapore and those that are disposed of go the waste-to-energy plants for incineration.

Our submission aims to reduce the amount of food wastage in NTU canteens/restaurants by collecting leftover food and distributing them accordingly to the relevant needy people organizations.

Outline of the approach.

Collection of the left out food from canteen/restaurant stalls

  • Gather a list of stalls involved in the project
  • Setup daily routine of collecting leftover food by their opening hours
  • Check-in system for leftover food

Sharing to the needy people organizations

  • Alias with the organizations for the food collection
  • Include expiry dates for the collected food
