Saving Food Waste at Home
Food waste is a massive global problem. What if we could use smart technology to minimize waste at the household level?
The Scale of Food Waste problem
Food waste is a critical issue worldwide:
• 1.3 billion tons of food wasted globally each year.
• Average family throws away $1,500+ worth of food annually.
• 40% of food produced in the US is never eaten.
The solution? Smart Household Solution
A comprehensive home food management system:
• Automatic inventory management.
• AI-powered expiration date tracking.
• Personalized meal planning based on available ingredients.
• Smart cameras in refrigerators and pantries? (ok that might be too much).

• Recipe suggestions based on ingredients about to expire.
• Shopping list optimization to prevent over-purchasing.
Impact and Benefits
This solution could:
• Reduce household food waste by 30-50%.
