Young Entrepreneurs - Foodbank Local

from Science and Engineering

The world has more than enough food to end hunger - the problem is getting the surplus from those who have it to those who need it. Foodbank Local is a smartphone/tablet app that’s like online shopping for food donations, helping supermarkets, bakeries and other food donors to connect with local charities fast. The Foodbank Local team were one of three finalists at the 2013 Microsoft Imagine World Cup, winning a grant of $50,000 to develop the project. UNSW's Brad Lorge takes us into "the wide-area pantry".
