Soup kitchens and food pantries play a critical role in addressing food insecurity by providing free or low-cost meals to elderly individuals, low-income families, and other vulnerable populations.
Food Waste
Food is one of the most essential resources for human survival, yet an astonishing amount of it is wasted every day. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), roughly one-third of all food produced globally—around 1.3 billion tons—ends up as waste each year. Food waste occurs at every stage of the supply chain, from production and distribution to retail and consumption. Let us explore various ways to reduce food waste on www.foodpulse.net .
Community Kitchens
Cooperative Community Kitchens bring people together to cook, store food, and reduce waste while tackling high costs, unhealthy diets, and food insecurity. They promote sustainability, healthy living.
Rural Farmers - Fishermen
Food Pulse, a tech-driven platform, can bridge this gap by connecting rural producers (farmers, fishermen, and butchers) directly with consumers using GPS-based wish lists and real-time notifications.
Freezing Food Items
Freezing excess fruits, vegetables, meat, and seafood helps reduce waste, save money, and maintain a steady supply of nutritious food. It’s a great way to use discounted perishables from supermarkets, especially those nearing their "best before" date or in surplus stock.
Communty Gardens
Community gardens are shared spaces where individuals or groups come together to grow fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers. These gardens can be established in urban areas (on rooftops, vacant lots, or parks) or rural areas (on communal land).
Food Pulse App
The app, "Food Pulse," will act as a bridge between consumers and supermarkets/food chains. Consumers can create wishlists of perishable and other food items they are interested in, set desired price levels and receive real-time notifications about markdowns in their area.
Supermarkets - Groceries
