Learn How to Reduce Food Waste

One of our favorite hacks to see built are recipe databases, smart refrigerators, and grocery list creators. We think these projects are common to see at hackathons because they’re genuinely useful for the world. Create one of these, or any other hack that works to reduce food waste.
