Millions of people around the world are undernourished and yet, each year more than a billion tons of food ends up going to waste—while food waste is a global problem, the WasteNot app is being introduced to help individuals and families do their part to reduce waste at home.

The app serves as a system for [food inventory management](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantry-aid) and keeps tabs on the food in one's [fridge, freezer and pantry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-fridge). When food is about to expire, the WasteNot app offers notifications and alerts as a handy reminder. Additionally, the app is an all-in-one resource for [finding new recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frigo), monitoring one's impact and getting rewarded for reducing food waste on a household level.

The app is currently being introduced to the world through a crowdfunding campaign and WasteNot has partnered with various earth-conscious brands to bring even more awareness to the issues surrounding food waste.
