## Smart Food Redistribution Platform
- **Project Focus**: Utilizing AI, IoT, and Digital Technology to connect food donors (hotels, restaurants) with social recipients (orphanages, shelters).
- **Market Context**: Tackling the issue where 1/3 of global food production is wasted while hunger persists.

## System Architecture & Tech Stack
- **3-Tier Architecture**:
  - **Presentation**: React.js for Donor, NGO, and Admin interfaces.
  - **Logic**: Node.js and Express for proximity matching and real-time notifications.
  - **Data**: PostgreSQL with PostGIS for relational audit trails and geospatial querying.
- **Logistics**: Uses geospatial proximity algorithms to minimize time-to-delivery.

## Core Pillars of the MVP
- **Secure Authentication**: Multi-factor authentication and user vetting for trust.
- **Standardized Uploads**: Structured data for food types, quantity, and preparation timestamps.
- **Geospatial Engine**: Real-time matching between donors and the nearest eligible NGOs.

## Future Roadmap (Industry 4.0)
- **AI & Predictive Analytics**: Time-series forecasting to predict demand spikes during holidays.
- **IoT Cold Chain**: Hardware sensors to monitor humidity and temperature for perishable goods compliance.
- **Computer Vision**: AI-based quality assessment and quantity estimation from donor photos.
