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.

Against monopoly.

Summary

Our project is a tracking system application for the food journey to stop the monopoly of commodities in crisis and it's a system that determines the journey of food and goods from agriculture to industry to places of sale to consumers and it records the prices for products, and the customers will have a specified number of goods and it is registered and All prices are recorded on this system and it will be under country care.

How We Addressed This Challenge

After the corona virus and quarantine people panicked and started to buy food or their supplies by insane way buying large amounts to provide them if any shortage happens also Sellers thought about monopoly food by Storing food then sell it with a high price to get many benefits. This was one of the multiple food problems in corona time we can decrease or even Eliminate by applying our solution which is application work as tracing system that monitors food journey till it reaches us with all steps and certain rules need to apply like the customer can only have a certain number of the same good and all prices are recorded on this system and under government care.

How We Developed This Project

We chose this challenge because we saw the impact and severity of the Corona virus on global nutrition. We also saw how the monopoly process increased by merchants and customers and countries monopolized each other as well. We have developed the project as we provided it with the features and that must be present in it, to be able to provide the state with all information related to commodities and its monopoly and how merchants deal with It . The space agency data helped us a lot in knowing a lot of information about the effect of corona virus on food in all parts of the world, as it led to famines, monopoly, the difficulty of transporting goods, etc. But we chose the problem of commodity monopoly and space agency data helped us collect data associated with it ,too. We used software tools as visual studio code , code blocks .and we used programming languages as C and python because it's the easiest programming language that will give us flexibility in the data structure of the program as the program is huge. What we have achieved is that we studied the problem well, discussed several solutions, and found that the best solution to ending monopoly is a tracking system application.
