From Waste To Well-being: An Intelligent Food Redistribution Framework For India

Abstract

Hunger Continues To Plague Millions Globally, Also The Most Pressing Challenge Of The 21st Century, Disproportionately Affecting Developing Nations. India Is Ranking 105th In The Global Hunger Index Despite Producing Sufficient Food To Feed Its Population. This Paradox Stems From Unequal Distribution, Inefficiencies In The Food Supply Chain, And Extensive Food Wastage. This Paper Proposes An AI-powered Food Redistribution System That Leverages Real-time Data, Machine Learning Algorithms, And Blockchain Technology To Optimize The Collection And Delivery Of Surplus Food. The System Connects Food Donors—such As Restaurants, Supermarkets, Weddings And Events, And Households—with NGOs, Food Banks, And Underserved Communities. By Enabling Predictive Analytics, Smart Routing, And Transparent Tracking, The Model Aims To Significantly Reduce Food Wastage, Address Undernourishment, And Create A Scalable, Tech-driven Approach To Hunger Eradication. The Proposed Framework Offers A Sustainable Solution That Aligns With Global Goals For Zero Hunger And Efficient Resource Utilization.
