Improving health and increasing wellbeing: reducing food insecurity and waste, with dignity, through a self-reporting app.

什么是脸部捐赠？脸部捐赠是一款安全的应用程序，可以将捐赠传递给粮食不安全的人，并获得捐赠如何使用的最新信息。这为非集中化的医疗保健和精神健康提供了一个新的平台，通过确保有需要的人能够获得捐赠，他们可以在当地零售商消费的信贷形式，来解决粮食不安全问题。它是如何运作的？面子捐赠可以减少粮食不安全和食物浪费，具有尊严、透明和包容性。捐脸使人们吃得健康，选择符合文化的新鲜食物，并在需要支持时自我转介给相关组织。哈克尼食品银行(Trussel Trust)的人脸捐赠试点显示，在使用人脸捐赠应用程序后，自我报告的希望、食品安全和精神健康有所增加。为什么这在今天很重要？目前政府面临着巨大的压力，要求其支持应对生活成本危机。处于粮食不安全状态的人数呈指数级增长，在环境方面，食物垃圾是一个燃烧的平台。脸部捐赠可以提供帮助解决这两个问题的工具。在英国，去年有217万人使用食品银行，约占总人口的3.2%。相比之下，据报道，约有8.8%的人口生活在粮食不安全之中，这表明许多有需要的人不会使用粮食银行。来自零售商的食物浪费贡献了10%的温室气体排放。然而，有很多人需要这种食物。为什么Face捐赠是一项好的投资？DEFRA的研究表明，每花费1 GB用于粮食安全，收益就占到GB 14：Niser对Face捐赠的研究证实了这一点，展示了“策划的数字现金优先方法”的影响\[https://www.niesr.ac.uk/blog/nudging-towards-healthy-eating?utm\_content=207277729&utm\_medium=social&utm\_source=linkedin&hss\_channel=lcp-591969\]

What is Face Donate?Face Donate is a secure app that enables donations to be passed on to people in food insecurity and to receive updates on how the donations were used. This provides a vehicle to for de-centralised healthcare and mental wellbeing by providing a novel platform to tackle food insecurity by ensuring that people in need are able to access donations in the form of credit they can spend at local retailers.How does it work?Face Donate can reduce food insecurity and food waste, with dignity, transparency and inclusion. Face Donate enables to eat healthily, choose culturally appropriate fresh food, and self refer to relevant organisations when in need of support. Face Donate pilots with the Hackney Food Bank (Trussel Trust) demonstrated an increase in self-reported hope, food security and mental wellbeing after using the Face Donate app.Why is this important today?There is currently significant pressure on the government to support with the cost of living crisis. The numbers of people in food insecurity is growing exponentially, and environmentally, food waste is a burning platform. Face Donate can provide the tools to help to solve both of these issues.In the UK, 2.17 million people used a food bank last year, approximately 3.2% of the population. This compares to an estimated 8.8% of the population reported to be living with food insecurity, demonstrating that many people in need will not use food banks. Food wastage from retailers contributes 10% of greenhouse gas emissions. Yet there are many people in need of this food.Why is Face Donate a good investment?Reseach by DEFRA shows that for every £1 spent on food security the benefits account for £14: this is corroborated by NISER research on Face Donate, demonstrating the impact of "curated digital cash-first approach" \[https://www.niesr.ac.uk/blog/nudging-towards-healthy-eating?utm\_content=207277729&utm\_medium=social&utm\_source=linkedin&hss\_channel=lcp-591969 \]
