FoodShare

Zero-Waste Campus Initiative

Redistributing Surplus, Nourishing Communities

Connect surplus food from canteens, hostels, and events with students, staff, and NGOs. Together, we can eliminate food waste and build a sustainable campus community.

Our Mission: Zero Food Waste

Transforming how educational institutions handle surplus food through innovative technology and community engagement.

The Problem We're Solving

Every day, educational institutions across India generate massive amounts of surplus food from canteens, hostels, events, and functions. This food, often perfectly edible and nutritious, ends up in waste bins while many students and community members face food insecurity.

The statistics are staggering: Indian institutions waste approximately 40% of food produced, contributing to environmental degradation through methane emissions from landfills and wasted resources like water, energy, and agricultural inputs.

Our Solution

FoodShare creates a seamless digital bridge between food surplus and food need. Our platform enables canteen managers, hostel wardens, and event organizers to instantly notify the campus community about available surplus food.

Real-time coordination ensures food reaches those who need it most - students, staff, and partnered NGOs - before it spoils. Every meal saved is a step toward environmental sustainability and social responsibility.

Environmental Impact

1.3 Billion
Tons of food wasted globally each year
8-10%
Of global greenhouse gas emissions from food waste
25%
Of world's freshwater used for wasted food

By redistributing surplus food instead of wasting it, we're not just feeding people - we're protecting our planet. Every meal saved reduces carbon footprint, conserves water, and prevents methane emissions from landfills.

Community Building

Beyond waste reduction, FoodShare fosters a culture of sharing and community care. Students learn the value of resources, staff contribute to meaningful causes, and NGOs receive consistent support for their programs.

Technology for Good

Our smart platform uses real-time notifications, food safety tracking, and impact analytics to ensure efficient, safe, and measurable food redistribution that creates lasting positive change.
