## Problem Statement
50% of food waste is generated by consumers and households generate the most amount of food waste. [1] One of the mian reasons for food waste generation is due to poor planning of households - over-estimating the amount of food that they need and as a result throwing away excess food before they turn bad.
Therefore, the question is:
How might we help households make use of their leftover resources fully, and make better purchasing decisions?
## Solution: The Planned Leftovers
Our solution is a food planning platform (web app) that provides inspiration for leftover food and cultivates consumers' purchasing habits by recommending the right amount of ingredients to purchase, and this tackles these 2 challenges:
### Food wastage
By recommending consumers' recipes that they can cook with the leftover food or ingredients that they have, it allows them to not throw their food away, but make use of them wisely.
Features:
- Inspire through recommendation of recipes related to leftover food
- Be notified of when there are additional food that is not consumed yet so actions can be taken
### Poor Purchase Planning
Our solution allows households to plan their meals beforehand, and gives them the exact amount of ingredients to buy for a recipe they have chosen based on what else they lack in their kitchen. Users get their shopping list and are able to buy whatever is necessary, limiting their food waste. This behaviour encourages households to consider planning for their meals, and make better decisions when it comes to their purchasing habits.
Features:
- Know exactly how much ingredients would be needed for the meals
- Buy carefully
- Cultivate habit of planning so that ingredients are optimised
