dc.description.abstract | Food waste is a major global problem, with an estimated one-third of all food produced for human
consumption being lost or wasted. This waste has a significant environmental impact, as it
contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and land degradation. It also has a social impact, as it
denies food to those who need it most. Online donation systems can be a valuable tool for reducing
food waste. These systems allow food donors to connect with food recipients, such as food banks
and soup kitchens. This can help to ensure that surplus food is not wasted, but is instead
redistributed to those who need it. This paper will explore the potential of online donation systems
to reduce food waste. It will review the literature on food waste and online donation systems, and
will present a case study of an online donation system in Bangladesh. The paper will conclude by
discussing the challenges and opportunities of using online donation systems to reduce food waste | en_US |
