ABSTRACT: Food security is becoming increasingly prominent due to the impact of the COVID-19 and extreme weathers. The Smart Project for “Clean Your Plate” Campaign has been designed and implemented to address food waste on campus. The project takes advantage of technologies such as IoT, dynamic QR code, and visual recognition. Smart devices for clear plate recognition can be installed in multiple locations in campus cafeterias and canteens. Users can login onto a public account and a Mini Program for points reward, exchange and sale. Combining offline clear plate recognition and online points exchange, the project encourages food saving and reduces human cost for university canteens.
