RESCQ solves India’s "Hunger-Waste Paradox" where 40% of food is trashed while 190 million go hungry, primarily due to language barriers, legal fears, and zero tax incentives for small donors.
Core trick
Transcribes spoken food listings, matches donors to shelters within 2 km, and verifies food safety from live video frames.
Description
RESCQ solves India’s "Hunger-Waste Paradox" where 40% of food is trashed while 190 million go hungry, primarily due to language barriers, legal fears, and zero tax incentives for small donors.
We bridge this gap by allowing anyone to list surplus food simply by speaking in their native language, using NVIDIA-powered live video AI to verify food safety, and anchoring the transaction on Blockchain to provide an instant, legally-binding tax receipt. By automating the legal shield and logistical matching within a 2km radius, we turn a "risky" donation into a frictionless, financially rewarding, and life-saving action.

# RESCQ - Hyperlocal Food Rescue Platform RESCQ is a hyperlocal food rescue web application that connects food donors with nearby shelters and communities in need across India. It combines real AI-powered food-safety analysis, multilingual voice listing, live road routing, and Firebase-backed data to help reduce food waste while fighting hunger. ## Features ### Fully working - **Live Map & Road Routing** - Leaflet + OpenStreetMap maps with real turn-by-turn road routes via the public OSRM API - **Multilingual Voice Listing** - Browser Web Speech API voice input with support for 10 Indian languages - **Geolocation** - One-tap pickup-location detection using the browser Geolocation API - **Firebase Data & Auth** - Firestore CRUD for listings plus phone OTP authentication (Account tab) - **Donor-Shelter Matching** - Distance-based pairing of donors with nearby shelters ### AI-powered (real APIs) - **Food Safety Image Analysis** - NVIDIA NIM (`meta/llama-3.2-90b-vision-instruct`) analyzes food photos; falls back to a mock assessment if the API is unavailable - **Voice-to-Listing Extraction** - Google Gemini (`gemini-2.0-flash-exp`) converts spoken transcripts into structured food listings; falls back to a mock parser if the API is unavailable ### Simulated for demo - **Blockchain Recording & NFT Tax Receipts** - Donations are recorded in a simulated ledger stored in Firestore (contracts written but not yet deployed) - **IPFS Certificates** - Certificate records use mock
