Our project was developed thinking about a way not only to avoid interruption in the movement of food, but also thinking about how to expand the forms of distribution and use of food. We then developed a solution that helps people to give a purpose to the stopped goods, and to help those who are experiencing difficulties to get food. Therefore, he acts directly in the objectives proposed by the challenge.
Considering food insecurity levels worldwide and other factors involved in food distribution issues, what inspires us is the possibility to build a tangible solution to the challenge, that effectively addresses the situation. Also, another fact that inspires us, is to work on, and provide, a solution aligned to the second UN SDG, zero hunger; demonstrating the social and health impact of the project.
We approached the organization and execution of the project in the following steps: data survey and study of viability; requirement check to design the prototype; development of the prototype in Figma; analisis and development of the system; creating pitch and video content; and final prototyping. We developed our application based on the usability of the solution in a practical and realistic way, because we understand the urgency in uncomplicate solutions for the lack of food issues. Therefore, our strategy is to provide autonomy to people in the sales and distribution of food, without the need of immediate government intervention in the food supply chain.
As technology and tools are: NASA Earthdata and NASA Woldwind resources will be provided for the user, and a detailed updated map will be offered. Data will be generated for NASA, enabling a more complete understanding of variables involved in the lack of food supply.
