hungry.
 Project Description
Our project "Grain2Gain" introduces an AI-powered food redistribution ecosystem
that connects surplus food suppliers with those in need. The platform features
predictive analytics for demand forecasting, ensuring better production planning
and reduced waste. It includes a real-time matching system that connects food
suppliers with nearby recipients based on food type, quantity, location, and time
sensitivity.

The platform features a user-friendly mobile application for all stakeholders,

allowing farmers and retailers to quickly list surplus food and NGOs to claim
available donations. A blockchain-based verification system ensures food safety
and traceability throughout the redistribution process.

Additional features include route optimization for efficient pickup and delivery,
food quality assessment tools, and impact tracking dashboards for suppliers to
visualize their contribution to reducing waste and fighting hunger. A data analytics
dashboard provides insights on waste patterns and prevention opportunities.

By addressing critical inefficiencies in food distribution, our solution offers a

sustainable, efficient, and impactful approach to reducing waste while addressing
food insecurity.
Solution Proposed
AI-Powered Demand Forecasting

01 Utilizes historical data and market trends to predict

demand, helping suppliers optimize production and
prevent overstock situations.
Real-Time Matching Algorithm

02 Intelligently connects food donors with recipients based

on multiple factors including food type, quantity, location,
and urgency.
Mobile-First Approach

03 User-friendly mobile applications for all stakeholders

enable quick listing and claiming of food donations from
anywhere.
Blockchain-Based Food Traceability

04 Ensures food safety and quality by tracking the journey

of donated food from source to recipient with immutable
records.
Quality Assessment Tools

05 AI-powered image recognition to assess food quality

and determine optimal redistribution channels.
