Context: Food poverty has increased due to the socio-economic effects of the post-COVID-19 pandemic. Reporting issues have caused discrep- ancies between independent and official reports on food insecurity. Ob- jective: This study explores the potential of a trustless, transparent, decentralised blockchain system in reducing and accurately measuring the growth of food poverty. Methods: An analysis of food bank oper- ations was conducted to identify existing issues. The study developed a hybrid Decentralised Application (DApp) using the MERN Stack and Truffle Suite alongside Solidity for programming. Results: The study identified operational issues within food banks, aligning with existing literature. The main deliverable was a pre-alpha version of a functional hybrid DApp. Innovation: A novel Web3 authentication protocol was developed for integration within the DApp, potentially catalysing indus- try growth by providing a reliable and easy-to-integrate solution for user authentication. Conclusion: Utilising blockchain technology with food circularity principles can significantly bolster food redistribution efforts. The study provides evidence that this approach could enhance redistri- bution by 87% within the UK, effectively reducing food poverty.
