Roughly 50% of all produce in the United States is thrown away—some 60 million tons annually. Because this wastage is detrimental both to the environment and the economy, we created a way for people to manage their food better by building a mobile application that helps people waste less food. FoodSavr tracks the food in your kitchen, and suggests new recipes that encourage you to be more adventurous with your culinary experiences. It prioritizes food that is near expiration so you can create a tasty meal with it and avoid throwing it away.
