In today's world, the paradox of food waste coexisting with hunger presents a formidable challenge. As millions suffer from hunger, a substantial portion of the global food production goes to waste, necessitating collective action to reduce waste, redistribute surplus, and foster sustainable food systems. Malaysia, despite its resources, grapples with a concerning food waste rate, driven by factors such as premature disposal of food nearing its expiry date and a lack of awareness on food waste issues. It is in this context that we introduce SnapSavor, a groundbreaking solution presented by the dedicated team at Kolej PERMATA Insan. SnapSavor is not merely an app; it's a call to action. Our mission is twofold: to empower users to reduce food waste and encourage conscious, sustainable choices in the kitchen. To combat the pressing issue of food waste, SnapSavor offers an array of innovative features. With Recipic, users can transform their home ingredients into delectable, nutritious meals, receiving instant recipe ideas and ingredient suggestions. ExpiryGuard becomes a reliable guardian, helping users manage expiration dates, reducing emissions, and avoiding food waste. NutriShare guides users in donating food to places like food banks and orphanages, employing a mapping feature to find suitable locations based on their availability. CompARer empowers users to compare ingredient prices across stores and identify the most nutritious options. Additionally, SnapSavor addresses the critical concern of food waste decomposition through SmartSaver. Users can turn leftovers into new meals, track energy and emissions with the GHG calculator, and learn effective decomposition methods. To ensure user-friendliness and effectiveness, we conducted extensive research and surveys, guaranteeing a seamless experience. SnapSavor invites individuals to join the fight against food waste and hunger while promoting sustainability, one recipe at a time.
