It's estimated that about 40% of the food that is purchased by households in the US will go to waste instead of being eaten, so the 'FoodBuddy' system has been developed as a way to help combat against unnecessary waste.
The system works by being installed into your existing refrigerator to effectively track what foods you have, when they're likely to go bad and much more. The system will allow users to seamlessly plan out meals using all of the ingredients they have, prevent them from overbuying foods and virtually eliminate waste by encouraging them to use fresh items that will expire soon.
The 'FoodBuddy' system links seamlessly with your smartphone to let you see just what you've got available from anywhere to plan meals and much more from anywhere.
