Abstract

This project aims to discuss the final stages around food waste and how with mobile applications and user experience design choices we can find a solution to help build habits that can focus on solving these problems and influence the younger generations to understand the global problem. This research indicated how habits are formed within mobile application use and how other applications on the market perform. Based on a review of the literature on these stages of food waste and the younger generational impact, an online survey was distributed to around 50 participants with majority between the ages of 18 and 24. The results give insight to the motives of users and reasons why they are wasting food to give a focus for the app development. A prototype artefact has been created alongside this study to challenge these stages of food waste and also to create a competitor against the other applications available that do not consider budget tracking, which is a driving factor of motivation.
