AB  - Food wastage and hunger are two major global challenges that coexist paradoxically. Large quantities
of edible food are wasted daily from restaurants, events, supermarkets, and households, while millions
of people suffer from food insecurity. Efficient coordination between food donors and beneficiaries
remains a significant challenge due to lack of centralized platforms, improper logistics, and poor
tracking mechanisms. This paper proposes a Smart Food Donation Management System (SFDMS) that
leverages web technologies, real-time data processing, and intelligent allocation algorithms to connect
food donors with NGOs and needy communities. The system incorporates geo-location tracking, expiry
monitoring, automated matching, and analytics dashboards to optimize food redistribution. Experimental
results demonstrate improved response time, reduced food wastage, and enhanced distribution efficiency
compared to traditional manual donation systems.
