Abstract: The purpose of this invention is to develop a smart food wastage management system that, given a food donation input, enables efficient collection and distribution of surplus food to suitable recipients. The system evaluates the properties of the donated food as well as the requirements of registered receivers in order to deliver optimized food allocation recommendations. This is accomplished through the utilization of web technologies, location-based services, intelligent matching algorithms, and a comprehensive database of users and food records. Donors can upload food details and photos of available food items, which are then processed and stored in the system database. The system utilizes nearest-location search and priority matching methods in order to locate suitable NGOs, orphanages, old age homes, shelters, or volunteers, thereby ensuring that the allocation process is both efficient and accurate. The final recommendations are given in the form of timely pickup and delivery coordination, and the system is responsible for continuously learning and adjusting based on previous transactions and user feedback. The system is designed to be scalable and capable of integration with mobile applications, map services, and welfare platforms, which will make food donation easier and faster. The user-friendly interface allows smooth interaction among all participants. The purpose of this cutting-edge solution is to improve food resource utilization by making the process of donating and receiving food stress-free, reliable, and socially beneficial.
