Pick'n'Treat was inspired by the Prime Minister's call to address food waste and the staggering levels of food insecurity in India. Despite 68 million tonnes of food being wasted every year, nearly 197 million people in India still face hunger. By reducing food waste and promoting sustainable food consumption, the app aims to mitigate environmental damage, including the significant methane emissions caused by food waste, particularly in urban centers like Delhi.

Introducing Pick'n'Treat: A Game-Changing Solution

The Pick'n'Treat app provides a user-friendly platform with a dual focus: tackling food waste while helping those who are undernourished. Here's how it works:

Food Surplus Marketplace: Local restaurants, bakeries, and cafes can list surplus meals at discounted prices (up to 50% off or more). Users can buy delicious, high-quality food at a fraction of the cost, all while helping reduce food waste.

Food Donation Platform: The app enables users to donate excess food from their homes. Partnered NGOs then collect and distribute the food to vulnerable communities, ensuring that no food goes to waste.

Consumer Education on Sustainability: Pick'n'Treat helps educate consumers about the nutritional value of food by promoting the consumption of "imperfect" produce. The app encourages people to embrace the idea that looks don't matter when it comes to nutrition--fruits and vegetables that might be blemished or misshapen are just as healthy and nourishing as their more polished counterparts.

A Vision for a Sustainable Future

Urban Pulse Innovations plans to expand Pick'n'Treat to cities across India, inviting more restaurants, cafes, NGOs, and individuals to join the movement. The company is committed to raising awareness about food waste and its environmental and social implications, educating both businesses and consumers about the importance of sustainable food consumption.
