项目摘要

This project seeks to address hunger relief in the US by maximizing equitable access to safe food, while considering the food preferences of food-insecure households, and simultaneously addressing redistribution of usable food that would otherwise be wasted. In the US, 10.5% of the households were food insecure in 2019, and that number increased by 29% in 2020 with the spread of COVID-19, according to the Feeding America Covid-19 impact assessment. Yet, it is estimated that 30–40% of food supply is wasted in the US. Working with two food banks in North Carolina and one in Alabama, each serving a range of counties—together with their associated networks of food-insecure households, food-secure households, other nonprofit organizations, and local businesses such as growers, supermarkets, restaurants, and other businesses in the service regions—the project team of academic and community partners will co-develop a community-based socially intelligent nonprofit food rescue and distribution infrastructure and platform to use community resources to equitably serve food-insecure households. This project unites three aims to develop a socially intelligent nonprofit food rescue and distribution infrastructure to equitably serve food-insecure households by continually learning their preferences with feedback to upstream stages of the supply chain. Aim 1, Smart Sociotechnical Information Capturer and Predictor: Understand the behavior of donors, beneficiaries, and volunteers by creating a socially intelligent infrastructure that records data in real-time and learns evolving stakeholders’ and end users’ needs, preferences, and utilization over time. Aim 2, Tactical Supply Chain Planner: Design and optimize the community food sharing network in response to stakeholder behaviors by constructing a technology and data-driven supply chain framework that adapts to evolving stakeholder behaviors to best serve the hunger needs of food-insecure households within the community. Aim 3, Real-Time, Logistics Operations Optimizer: Satisfy beneficiary needs through communal self-renewal by connecting food-insecure households to community-based supply options in real-time, and optimizing real-time pickup and delivery logistics while adhering to food safety time windows. The proposed infrastructure will facilitate more effective food distribution aimed at reducing hunger while simultaneously enhancing sustainability.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目旨在通过最大程度地利用公平的安全食品来解决美国的饥饿救济，同时考虑食品不安全家庭的食物偏好，并简单地解决否则会浪费的可用食品的再分配。根据Feeding America Covid-19，在美国，2019年有10.5％的家庭在2019年不安全，2020年的数量增加了29％。然而，据估计，在美国浪费了30-40％的粮食供应。与北卡罗来纳州的两家食品银行和阿拉巴马州的两家食品银行一起工作，每个县都提供各种县 - 与他们相关的食品不确保家庭，食品安全家庭，其他非营利组织，其他非营利组织以及种植者，超级市场，餐馆，餐馆和其他企业等社区群体和社区企业的社区发展企业 - 社会发展企业 - 社会发展企业 - 基础设施和平台利用社区资源同样为食品不符合的家庭服务。该项目将三个旨在开发具有社会智能的非营利性粮食救助和分销基础设施的旨在通过不断通过对供应链上游阶段的反馈来学习偏好来开发社会智能的非营利性粮食救助和分销基础设施。 AIM 1，智能社会技术信息捕获者和预测指标：通过创建一个具有社会智能的基础架构，以实时记录数据，并了解不断发展的利益相关者的需求，偏好和利用。 AIM 2，战术供应链规划师：通过构建技术和数据驱动的供应链框架来设计和优化社区食品共享网络，以响应利益相关者的行为，以适应不断发展的利益相关者行为，以最好地满足社区中食品不确定性家庭的饥饿需求。 AIM 3，实时，物流运营优化器：通过公共自我更新来满足受益人的需求，通过将食品不安全的家庭与社区的供应选项连接到实时，并优化实时接送和交付物流，同时遵守食品安全时间窗口。拟议的基础设施将促进旨在减少饥饿同时增强可持续性的更有效的食品分配。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估，被认为是珍贵的支持。
