Abstract—To answer these questions, today, the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) based mobile technology can help resolve the inefficiency in food supply chain and it provides a solution to feed the hunger problem. The IoT based mobile technology can connect intelligent and sensor devices to communications networks. Therefore, this research paper offers an IoT mobile technology based business strategy to minimize the waste in food supply chain. It also suggests an innovative solution to use the remaining food to feed the hungers while maintaining the food’s high quality and optimal delivery time.
