Food for Thought

Your challenge is to consider the journey of food to your plate, determine how disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic are affecting the food supply locally and globally, and propose solutions to address these issues.

FOOD-TURE

Summary

We created a website that works as a communication tool between the most damnified people by the pandemic in terms of food supplies access, and non governmental organisations. Through this website, volunteers that are willing to help the ones in need are going to be able to contact the NGOs and programs, according to the location they want to help, and donate or volunteer.

How We Addressed This Challenge

By contacting the NGOs, people that want to make a donation will be able to help the most vulnerable communities so they improve their present life conditions by receiving food supplies.

How We Developed This Project

We were interested in social security and how the pandemic has affected people in a different way instead of just health issues.  We wanted to be a communication tool between the people that need help and the ones that are willing to help. The space agency data was used consolidate the project. For the creation of our website, we used the platform wix.com. We were able to learn  more about the consequences covid-19 on the most vulnerable communities, and also to identify different organizations and institutions that have developed projects to aid these populations. However, the time limited our actions.
