INTRODUCTION
The Zero-Waste Grocery Planner is an AI-driven solution designed to minimize
food waste while promoting healthy and efficient meal planning. This innovative
platform enables users to track their groceries, optimize ingredient usage, and receive
personalized meal recommendations based on available ingredients, expiration dates,
and dietary preferences. The system integrates OCR technology to scan grocery
receipts, automatically extracting item details and expiration dates. Additionally,
users can manually manage their grocery lists, set nutrition goals, and receive smart
notifications for expiring items.
