Zero Hunger: Smart Food Donation System using IoT

: In the Coronavirus circumstance hungry individuals confronting food issues and loads of individuals kicked the bucket in the Coronavirus lockdown by considering this continuous issue we are attempting to give a constant answer for that. We are attempting to construct the system 'Zero Hunger' utilizing ML and IoT innovation with the mission to end food wastage and craving is a food wastage decrease based innovation in which gets surplus food from public capacity café, birthday celebrations show corridors home, and so on and convey to those who are directing NGOs.


I. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction
Wastage of food is the biggest problem that has increased social and environmental awareness in the past years.Hunger is one of the most concerning issues which is on the corner for many decades.The reasons behind this issue may vary but there are lots of effective solutions.We did quite research about this issue and got to know that technology can also help us in solving this issue.Thereby, surveys were conducted with a few research papers to gain knowledge about the organization's daily prerequisites that are fulfilled and the ones that remain unfulfilled.This system is a food wastage reduction-based technology in which gets surplus food from public occasional functions and marriage, canteen, restaurant, get together (if there is a large quantity).etc and distributes to those who are conducting NGOs.For quality assurance, this system will use IoT sensors.[8]Also,many organization has conveyed their wish to ask them for necessary items such as clothing, food, etc.But there is no way to meet their needs.then the system has been developed a food donation for people.They can easily donate the food as per their capacity and the system will authorize to keep their request i.e if their needy peoples get food.[7] 1.2 Area of Project Wasting food is a common problem in our society.Food waste management is crucial since it can improve our environmental and economic sustainability.We have identified the use of mobile technology to reduce food waste management and built an android mobile application that allows restaurants to donate and share their foods and leftovers with people in need.Everyone enjoys the functions with a lot of food and other products and most of them left waste or unused.We all waste food for various reasons.Typically it's as a result of there has been an amendment of plans and it's out of our management, however, most of the time we tend to waste identical varieties of food for identical a pair of main reasons we've got bought or read an excessive amount of, or we've got forgotten to use it on time.Regardless of the rationale why you throw out food, you got it currently, it's cost accounting for you to throw it out.To solve this problem we come up with a system which can take request from the users who won't get settled with the waste food they can request to donate or sell at cost to our systems managers who comes to them at the given time and pick the order and further park that food to a needy place where most people are without food according to need status.Hence our system takes feedbacks and gives its best to settle the need and cleaning the place and more or less doing humanity.

Introduction to Problem Statement
Zero hunger is a food wastage reduction based technology in which gets surplus food from public function, restaurants, Birthday parties convention halls, homes (if there is a large quantity), etc. and distributes to those are conducting NGO's.

Motivation Behind Project
The motivation behind this project is to feed the needy and hungry with untouchable edible surplus food.To bring a social change in every individual to reduce food waste and to make the World Hunger Free.Food waste is a relevant global problem due to its consequences on food security, economy, and environmental sustainability.This project focuses, in detail, on finding the main motivation for food waste among the young and the principal actions to prevent it.

Scope
The whole scope of our project is that food should reach every person in India.No one should go hungry.And we develop a "Zero hunger" system that is very helpful for the social group and those who are doing social activities.

[8] R.Adline Freeda, M.S.Sahlin Ahamed, Mobile Application for Excess Food Donation and Analysis.In this paper focus of the project is to develop an android application that uses data analysis to visualize the impact of excess food, thus reducing food wastage produced in restaurants, functions mess.The current system only provides information on the amount of food wasted and does not provide an interface to donate and provide data analysis using data analysis, to visualize the impact.Donating the excess food that consists of the following details, first, providing the location of where excess food is available &details of the food quantity available.Immediate Alerts to nearby NGOs, orphanages, volunteers to collect them.

III. METHODOLOGY
In this system we are providing 3 applications like donor, admin & volunteer, firstly the donor has to register by filling in personal details and selecting donor type i.e regular or occasional after successful registration donor will log in into the system with mobile authentication.After successful login donor can also put up items for donation & the request will be sent to the NGO.A Donor can be any Institute or person who wishes to donate food & will put up their request to the system this message will be shown as notification in the system to other NGO(admin) food receiver is an NGO who needs food will check for any food request in the system & can accept that request if needed.Then NGO will assign the volunteer after that NGO volunteer will receive the notification and the volunteer will go to the donor location using GPS API for receiving food.Then the volunteer will check quality assurance using an IoT device i.e.Food moisture sensor.and a volunteer will also check the spanning time of food whether food quality is good or not good.After checking the spanning time of food if food is good then volunteers will collect the food and notification will be sent to the system.Using the k-NN algorithm the system will find out the nearest slum area to donate food.This way project will fill the gap between food and safe food.The proposed application shall reduce food wastage and also fulfill other requirements like food items of needy organizations.K-Nearest Neighbour is one of the simplest Machine Learning algorithms based on the Supervised Learning technique.K-NN algorithm assumes the similarity between the new case/data and available cases and puts the new case into the category that is most similar to the available categories.K-NN algorithm stores all the available data and classifies a new data point based on the similarity.This means when new data appears then it can be easily classified into a good suite category by using K-NN algorithm.K-NN algorithm can be used for Regression as well as for Classification but mostly it is used for Classification problems.K-NN is a non-parametric algorithm, which means it does not make any assumptions on underlying data.It is also called a lazy learner algorithm because it does not learn from the training set immediately instead it stores the dataset and at the time of classification, it performs an action on the dataset.K-NN algorithm at the training phase just stores the dataset and when it gets new data, then it classifies that data into a category that is much similar to the new data.
3. Let k be a +ve integer, take the first k distances from this sorted list.4. Find those k-points corresponding to these k distances.5. Let ki denotes the number of points belonging to the ith class among k points i.e. k ≥ 0 6.If ki >kj ∀ I ≠ j then put x in class i.

IoT Sensor
A. MQ4 Gas Sensor Module: MQ4 is a gas sensing module, which is used to measure methane gas in the atmosphere.It contains Gas sensing layer, which is made up of SnO2.SnO2 is sensitive to gases like LPG, CH4, H2, CO, Alcohol, and smoke.As the decaying food emits methane gas (CH4), the MQ4 sensor can be used to measure this gas to monitor food quality.
