FoodLink: Optimizing Food Redistribution Systems to Minimize Waste and Maximize Impact

This paper introduces FoodLink, an innovative plat- form designed to optimize food redistribution, minimize wastage, and enhance societal impact. Leveraging modern technologies, FoodLink provides a seamless and efficient environment to connect food donors, NGOs, and recipients through features such as geolocation-based matching, real-time tracking, and data- driven analytics. It addresses the critical challenges of food insecurity and resource inefficiencies by streamlining the redistri- bution process, ensuring surplus food reaches those in need. By integrating scalable and user-friendly solutions, FoodLink aims to revolutionize food redistribution systems, fostering sustainability and contributing to global efforts in combating hunger and food wastage.
