PROBLEM STATEMENT
Food wastage is a growing global issue, with a significant amount
of food being discarded due to spoilage, improper storage, and
lack of awareness about expiration dates. This not only contributes
to environmental problems but also leads to financial losses for
households. To address this challenge, there is a need for a solution
that can help individuals monitor and manage their food
consumption more efficiently, reducing wastage and promoting
sustainable living.
Our proposed solution is a Smart Fridge.
