Introduction
Problem Statement
37% percent of food is wasted in households in the US[1]. The cause of food waste can be appointed to food expiration, but it could also be due to shopping items that one does not know recipes for.

- Investigate how technology can be used to combat food waste. More specifically:
- How much food is wasted in households;
- What are the main reasons for food waste;
- How to prevent food waste;
- What would be a convenient way for users to keep oversight of fridge contents;
- What incentives could be used to motivate consumers to prevent food waste
- How AI can assist in preventing food waste
- Check other recipe suggesting apps / websites, what features would be useful to add / what's missing.
