One of my favourite types of story: the application of technology to enhance developmental outcomes. This time, it's Nigeria that is going to benefit with an app called Chowberry allowing retailers to advertise stock that is nearing its sell-by-date and giving NGOs that information allowing them to buy food cheap for distribution and alleviate hunger. The app reduces food waste and allows the charities' funds to go much further.
However, is the next step to cut out the middleman and link the retailers with consumers, or does a lack of income mean that this service should be exclusively about linking NGOs and retailers?
