“My Pantry” Mobile App: Design to Reduce Food Waste
Faculty Mentor(s) Name(s)
Abraham Abebe
Abstract
With the rising cost of groceries in the US, it is more important than ever to reduce food waste. My Pantry is an app that helps users reduce their food waste by keeping track of items in your kitchen and their expiration dates. Notifications will tell users when they need to put items in the freezer to prevent them from going bad and will help them identify if items are bad at all, even past their best by date. My Pantry also helps users get new recipes and keep old ones in a virtual cookbook. An online database lets users browse recipes and AI can create recipes based off of what is already in their pantry. Users can then use those recipes to meal plan, where My Pantry will notify you when to put things out to thaw, when to start cooking, and what you should buy for the recipe. My Pantry will help users organize their meals, shopping, and pantry as well as reduce food waste.
