Zero Hunger – AI-Powered Food Donation Platform
Inspiration
Millions of kilograms of edible food are wasted every day while many people struggle with hunger. We wanted to bridge this gap by creating a smart platform that connects food donors with NGOs and volunteers. Our goal was to reduce food waste and support communities by making food donation fast, reliable, and AI-assisted.
What it does
Zero Hunger is an AI-powered food donation platform that allows individuals, restaurants, hotels, and event organizers to donate surplus food. NGOs and volunteers receive donation requests and coordinate pickups efficiently.
The platform uses AI to:
- Analyze donated food details
