Food wastage is a serious problem in society that needs to be solved as it negatively affects society economically, environmentally and socially. Our project focuses on reducing food wastage through food catering events in Singapore. From our research, in NUS alone, 70% of catered food are being wasted on a regular basis and it is contributing greatly to the problem of food wastage. Foodjio is a mobile application that we have developed to help alleviate this problem. It works by collaborating with the organizer of food catering events to notify nearby users to travel down to help finish the catered food so as to reduce the occurrence of its wastage. Thus far, we have successfully developed the mobile application and it is undergoing testing on NUS users while undergoing a collaboration with ZeroWaste Singapore to plan to bring this application forward to the society at large in the future after successfully testing its practicality and usefulness.
