Tackling Food Waste in the UAE with Innovation 🌱
Meet Rayan, an ADHSA student who is taking a stand against the UAE's food waste crisis with a groundbreaking app, for which the MVP is already created. 🚀
The UAE discards a staggering 3.2 million tons of food annually, which translates to 96kg per person per year. This alarming issue has far-reaching impacts:
🔴 Environmental Impact: Food waste contributes significantly to landfills, releasing harmful methane gas, a major driver of climate change.
💰 Economic Loss: With an estimated $4 billion USD wasted annually, food waste affects households, businesses, and the economy at large.
⚖ Social Disparities: Despite the UAE's proactive efforts, a stark contrast exists—massive food waste alongside ongoing food insecurity due to inefficient resource distribution.
With Rayan’s innovative app, the goal is to create a sustainable solution that reduces food waste, promotes resource optimization, and ensures a more equitable food distribution system.
