Food Shift Description
Our main motto for creating this app is to "donate" the excess food to the needy and also to reduce the hunger.
Hunger is an uncomfortable or painful physical sensation caused by insufficient consumption of dietary energy. For children, food insecurity is particularly devastating. Not having enough healthy food can have serious implications for a child's physical and mental health, academic achievement and future economic prosperity. The world produces enough food to feed everyone on the planet. The problem is access and availability, both of which are disrupted by things like extreme weather, food waste, one's gender and – worst of all – conflict. Ending hunger is the greatest challenge of our time, but together it's solvable. There is a strong connection between hunger and chronic diseases like high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes. About 16.3% of Indians are undernourished and about one in every three children is stunted, meaning the proportion of children under 5 years with lower height for age. Millions live with hunger and malnourishment because they simply cannot afford to buy enough food, cannot afford nutritious foods or cannot afford the farming supplies they need to grow enough good food of their own. Hunger can be viewed as a dimension of extreme poverty.
