Rooted Community Food: A Live Representation of Giving

Rooted Community Food is pioneering a real-time donation tracking system, showcasing how local growers contribute food to families, friends, and community fridges. This interactive map provides transparent data on food sharing efforts, ensuring fresh produce reaches those who need it most.

Revolutionizing Food Donations: A First-of-Its-Kind Interactive Map in the UK

Food donation and redistribution have long been crucial to food security. However, tracking the real-time movement of food donations has remained largely uncharted territory—until now.

The Rooted Community Food Harvest Hub Donation Map is the only live food tracking system of its kind in the UK. It visually represents every donation made by growers, bringing unparalleled transparency and accountability to grassroots food-sharing efforts.

Traditional food redistribution models rely on estimation. Rooted Community Food has disrupted this by offering verified, live data that reflects actual contributions—the moment they happen.

• 💡 Instant Tracking: Every donation is logged as soon as it is uploaded, complete with grower details and images.
• 📊 Verified Data: No assumptions—just real insights into community food-sharing efforts.
• 🌍 Scalable for Broader Change: This model offers a blueprint for UK-wide adoption, showing how local growers fuel food accessibility.

This revolutionary platform does more than highlight donation locations—it proves the impact of local food movements, influencing sustainable policies nationwide.

Harvest Hub: Cutting-Edge Technology Meets Simplicity

Despite being an advanced tracking system, Rooted’s Harvest Hub is designed for simplicity, ensuring that anyone can upload their donations with ease.

The system works in three seamless steps:

1. 🚜 Growers Upload Their Donations – A simple image upload alongside details of the produce shared.
2. 🌱 Data Goes Live Instantly – The interactive map updates in real time, ensuring complete transparency.
3. 📈 Insights Help Shape the Future – Local councils, food partnerships, and sustainability groups gain crucial insights into food accessibility.

Rooted has bridged the gap between grassroots efforts and technology—creating a digital ecosystem where food sharing is visible, measurable, and impactful.
