The app would use features like an easy contribution platform, real-time matching algorithms, and an educational discussion forum. It is presented as a solution to the global issue of food waste that can help communities reduce waste while promoting sharing of resources. The proposed app design, capabilities, and potential benefits are outlined in the document.

1. ANDROID SOLUTION
FOR
FOOD WASTE MANAGEMENT

2. Introduction
• Food waste is an international issue that has an imaginative answer in
the form of an Android application that employs technology to help
manage the supply of food (da Costa et al. 2022).
• The program promotes a feeling of community involvement and
interaction with features such as an easy-to-use contributions
platform, real-time matching algorithms, and a discussion forum
(Samson, 2022).
• The software not only tackles the current problem but also aims to
inform and encourage users to adopt environmentally friendly
practices through the use of features like gamification, safe
geolocation offerings, and educational content.

3. Problem Statement
The current issue is the absence of
efficient systems linking people possessing
more food to others who are in demand.
Present ones are not commonly employed
and frequently become fragmented.
Food waste is an important global issue
that has an important effect on poverty and
damage to the environment.
This method attempts to decrease food waste,
improve community involvement, and expedite the
procedure for donating Providing a well-designed
application supporting usability and ease of use.

5. Critically review current
information resources
• The importance of using technology to solve the growing
problem of food waste is shown by an examination of the
existing literature on the subject of Android solutions for
food waste management.
• This article highlights the present level of knowledge and
major results in this topic, illuminating the problems,
possible solutions, and future directions for study. Studies in
this field have emphasized the many user groups that may
benefit from Android apps designed to cut down on food
waste.
• As per the view of Usharani et al. (2023), consumers may
reduce food waste by using apps that help them keep track of
their food supplies, monitor when they expire, and give
cooking ideas.

8. • The Android food waste management application tackles the global
epidemic of food waste by using an all-encompassing strategy.
• Utilizing the use of an offering platform, individuals can share excess
food items, together with details like kind, amount, and expiration date,
thereby encouraging a sharing culture within the community at large.
• By immediately alerting donors and recipients when a suitable match has
been found, real-time alerts improve the user experience by encouraging
timely donations and reducing the risk of wasteful food production.
• The addition of guides and a community forum promote awareness-
raising and sharing information even further, providing a helpful platform
enabling users to exchange advice, accomplishments, and best practices.
