platform designed to reduce food waste and combat hunger by connecting food donors with nearby NGOs and recipients. The system leverages artificial intelligence to match surplus food availability with real-time demand, optimizing distribution based on location, quantity, and freshness. It integrates analytics to monitor donation trends, predict future needs, and enhance decision-making for resource allocation. Through a user-friendly mobile and web interface, FoodBridge AI streamlines the donation process, improves transparency, and supports sustainable food management practices. By bridging the gap between donors and recipients, the platform promotes social responsibility, reduces food insecurity, and contributes to achieving sustainable development goals.
2.Objectives 1. To develop an AI-powered platform that accurately connects surplus food donors (restaurants, shops, households) with verified recipients (NGOs, shelters, families) in real-time. 2. To analyze surplus food details including type, quantity, and expiry time to ensure proper and safe redistribution before food spoils. 3. To create an automated matching system using AI algorithms based on location, demand, and availability to minimize delays and food wastage.
Keywords- Food Donation Platform, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Donor-Recipient Matching, Real-Time Analytics, Surplus Food Management, NGOs, Hunger Reduction, Sustainable Development, Web Application, Mobile Application, Resource Optimization, Location-Based Matching, Data-Driven Insights.
4. To provide real-time notifications and alerts to recipients and timely meal distribution. 5. To maintain a centralized dashboard for tracking food donations, collections, and distributions, helping measure impact effectively.
1. Introduction
6. To generate reports and analytics to show food saved, meals served, and overall reduction in food waste, supporting data-driven decisions for future expansion.
Food wastage and hunger remain two critical global challenges, where surplus food is often discarded while millions face scarcity. Traditional donation systems are mostly unorganized and inefficient, leading to delays and wastage of perishable items. To address this, technologybased solutions can bridge the gap between donors and recipients effectively. FoodBridge AI is a web-based platform developed using Django (Python) and MySQL that facilitates smart food redistribution. The system integrates an AI Matching Engine to automatically connect donations with requests based on food type, location, and urgency. Donors, recipients, and NGOs interact through a responsive interface built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This ensures timely allocation, reduces wastage, and enhances transparency. By combining AI with scalable web

2.Related Work [1] The document discusses "Food Wastage Reduction through Donation Using Modern Technological Approach: Helping Hands"is a web-based food donation management system aimed at reducing food wastage and addressing hunger. The platform connects food donors, such as restaurants, events, or households, with NGOs and individuals in need. Donors can register and log details of surplus food, including type, quantity, and availability time. NGOs can view available donations, request the required items, and coordinate pickup or delivery. The system maintains a record of all donations and allocations,
