Webpage Portal for Crowd Sourcing on Food Waste Management

Abstract

This paper represents a Web portal for crowd resourcing on food waste management where the leftover food is donated to the needy and to people who lack or suffer from food. The need for donation is due to the wastage of food. In this present scenario, wastage of food is on large quantity in many places like restaurants, weddings, social functions, college canteens, and many other social events. Some people donate food manually by visiting some organizations. In order to reduce the issue of food wastage, there are Web sites that have taken efforts to help people donate food through online mode. This system provides a new approach where leftover food is donated to needy people or organizations, for both governmental and non-governmental people. The system is an effective means of donating food to organizations, orphanages, etc., over the Internet. This has a potential for avoiding the wastage of food. Using the Internet mode for donating food is mainly helpful to the NGO organizations where they can raise the request for food. So, the donors from the hotels and marriages can donate food to the wanted people by seeing the request given on the Web site. It provides information that provides motivation to come up with a successful application, thereby describing existing donation system that works for the betterment of the society. A new donation request will be created on the portal, and once the request is accepted, then the food request from food donor to food receiver is processed and updated on the webpage.
