Solving Food Wastage issues through BYOD application

Food Wastage is a rising challenge at the global level as 1.4B hectare of land is occupied by wasted food. If annual 1/3rd of wasted food is donated to undernourishment areas, it will result in overcoming food shortage issues. Findings of previous researchers have identified that 49% of food is wasted in households and 20% due to mishandling of best before date. This research fills the gaps by a BYOD (bring your own device) application named ConFood, that can help reduce or eliminate the food wastage by reminding the user about best before date. It also includes a customized alert system, adding family members, BYOD support, recipe suggestions and similar others. The complete framework has been provided to develop the application.
