Smart Resource Management: Civic Engagement and Food Recovery
Food waste is a prevalent issue worldwide. Close to 15 percent of households in the U.S. are food insecure. The U.S. wastes up to 40 percent of food, disposing not only food, but also wasting precious resources ranging from land, water, labor, and energy in the production and transportation of food from farm to consumers. At the University of Washington (UW), a research group in the department of Human Centered Design &Engineering (HCDE) designed a solution to food waste by creating an interactive, responsive open source website (Meal Matchup) to facilitate food donation and connect dining hall managers, local shelters, and student deliverers. This paper focuses on the consequences of food waste as well as how Meal Matchup manages resources and helps deliver leftover food to those in need through the use of technology, volunteerism, and civic engagement.
