According to research, food waste is responsible for 10% of greenhouse emissions and efforts to tackle it require partnerships with all segments of society including retailers, cafes, farmers and the government. Globally almost 40% of food goes to waste, A study conducted in 2020 concluded that reducing food waste is one measure to curb climate change.

05.08 Justification de mon projet

We live in a digital era, where every second person has access to a smartphone and the internet. This has made marketing of goods and products easier and has presented the opportunity for retailers to reach more people with their marketing campaigns. We aim to use an app which is easy to download and use that anyone from all works of life can use to conveniently get access to what’s on special at their nearest shop and make a purchase directly from the app. Their order is then prepared and delivery can be arranged or they go pick up.

05.09 Qui sont vos principaux potentiels concurrents et qu'est-ce qui vous différencie d'eux ?

Our main competitors will be the shop owners themselves and what they decide to do with their left overs, for example, they may decide to give it straight to charity instead of reselling it in the form of surprise bags via our app. Either way we are doing it for a good cause.

10.06 Menez-vous des actions au sein de votre communauté pour promouvoir le rôle des femmes entrepreneurs ?

By building my business's social media presence from scratch is empowering other female entrepreneures to follow their dreams.
