FeedOn is a web application serves as a dual platform for F&Bs and charities to connect with one another. It aims to minimize food wastage by redistributing excess food from F&Bs to charities.
Watch the live demo for the application here, and view our team proposal here.
As we know, our world is battling high food wastage, widespread hunger and extensive food insecurity. These are all problems that directly affect the basic quality of life. Moreover, higher food wastage also means that we would need to build more waste disposal facilities, which leads to an unnecessary increase energy consumption.
However, by distributing these food leftovers to people who are unable to afford food on their own, we can alleviate their standard of living. So the value of this product is the possibility of solving all the mentioned problems, without even increasing the food output.

As you add / modify the source code (src/main/java/...) it's very useful to add
unit testing
to (src/main/test/...). The following resources are quite useful:
An easy way to keep your projects up to date is to use the maven [Versions plugin][versions-plugin].
mvn versions:display-plugin-updates
mvn versions:display-dependency-updates
mvn versions:use-latest-versions
Note - Be careful when changing javax.servlet as App Engine Standard uses 3.1 for Java 8, and 2.5
for Java 7.
Our usual process is to test, update the versions, then test again before committing back.
