Food wastage is a critical issue in modern society, particularly in urban areas where large quantities of edible food are discarded daily by restaurants, hotels, and social events. At the same time, a significant portion of the population faces food insecurity due to lack of proper access and coordination. This paper presents Nourix, a web-based food redistribution platform designed to bridge the gap between food donors and NGOs or volunteers. The system enables donors to register and upload surplus food details along with images, while collectors can view and accept donations in real time. The platform is implemented using Flask for backend processing, HTML and CSS for frontend design, and MySQL for database management. The proposed system enhances coordination, improves trans- parency through image-based verification, and provides a struc- tured workflow for food redistribution. The solution is scalable and can be extended with advanced features such as location tracking and real-time notifications.

The proposed system provides an effective solution for food redistribution using web technologies. It improves coordina- tion and reduces food wastage. Future enhancements such as location tracking and real-time notifications can further improve system efficiency.
