It would be a dream come true if there was a city-wide program where retailers and restaurants could post blemished produce, and other food for foodbanks and groups in need to come and pick up. By creating this app, retailers and restaurants would be able to track their waste, keep track of donations for tax purposes, and more than anything not have food go to waste! On the flip side, food banks, have more available resources to utilize extra food before it goes to waste and provide a greater selection for their customers.
