  2. 01|Prototype Implementation Harvard Graduate School of Design | REALTIME CITIES 2014 | Food Recovery Network | Kalisha Holmes About Food Recovery Network • Food Insecurity: 50 million American families are food insecure • 1 in 6 children • 1 in 5 Americans • Since 2011, Food Recovery Network has: • Recovered 340,000+ lbs. of food so far • 89college chapters • In 25 U.S. states + Puerto Rico + D.C. Goal:1,000 chapters + 10 million lbs. of food recovered by 2018

  3. 01|Prototype Implementation 01|Prototype Implementation Harvard Graduate School of Design | REALTIME CITIES 2014 | Food Recovery Network | Kalisha Holmes Harvard Graduate School of Design | REALTIME CITIES 2014 | Food Recovery Network | Kalisha Holmes Building a Food Recovery Network • Food Recovery Network is building a national network of universities, restaurants and community volunteers to empower local networks to recover and redistribute food that would otherwise be wasted

  4. 01|Prototype Implementation 01|Prototype Implementation Harvard Graduate School of Design | REALTIME CITIES 2014 | Food Recovery Network | Kalisha Holmes Harvard Graduate School of Design | REALTIME CITIES 2014 | Food Recovery Network | Kalisha Holmes The Problem • With current model, it is impossible to see real-time updates on amount of food recovered • As a result, much of the information on the website is out of date • Makes it difficult to communicate within chapters and/or between chapters to share best practices and to set common goals • There is no functionality to allow one-time donations by non-Food Recovery Network affiliated institutions that may have large but inconsistent food surpluses

  5. 01|Prototype Implementation 01|Prototype Implementation Harvard Graduate School of Design | REALTIME CITIES 2014 | Food Recovery Network | Kalisha Holmes Harvard Graduate School of Design | REALTIME CITIES 2014 | Food Recovery Network | Kalisha Holmes Current Static Model Currently online and offline activities happen independently of each other. The website is manually updated periodically while food recovery efforts are continuously occurring offline at a high frequency

  6. 01|Prototype Implementation 01|Prototype Implementation Harvard Graduate School of Design | REALTIME CITIES 2014 | Food Recovery Network | Kalisha Holmes Harvard Graduate School of Design | REALTIME CITIES 2014 | Food Recovery Network | Kalisha Holmes Food Recovery Network: Proposed Technological Retrofitting

  7. 01|Prototype Implementation 01|Prototype Implementation Harvard Graduate School of Design | REALTIME CITIES 2014 | Food Recovery Network | Kalisha Holmes Harvard Graduate School of Design | REALTIME CITIES 2014 | Food Recovery Network | Kalisha Holmes Project Goal: • Connect the physical and virtual realms • To create a dynamic and interactive network rather than a static network Project Purpose: • Broaden network through increased visibility • Increase accountability • Allow individuals with common goals to connect in a virtual space

  8. 01|Prototype Implementation 01|Prototype Implementation Harvard Graduate School of Design | REALTIME CITIES 2014 | Food Recovery Network | Kalisha Holmes Harvard Graduate School of Design | REALTIME CITIES 2014 | Food Recovery Network | Kalisha Holmes Objectives of Technological Retrofitting • Provide public accountabilityand real-time updateson numbers • Attract new usersto the process of food recovery by making the actual process more visible • Change the status quo of university cafeterias to be in this network and provide mechanisms through brandingto shame non-food recoverersto join this socially responsible network • Make food recovery “cool”and potentially profitable for corporate partners by making food recovery a brandand source of pride • Implement temporary nodes and ties to Food Recovery Network in addition to affiliated members

  9. 01|Prototype Implementation 01|Prototype Implementation Harvard Graduate School of Design | REALTIME CITIES 2014 | Food Recovery Network | Kalisha Holmes Harvard Graduate School of Design | REALTIME CITIES 2014 | Food Recovery Network | Kalisha Holmes Fabricated Physical Interface The new physical interface will connect the volunteers, the placesof food recovery and the more detailed information about recovered food to a central server that can then transmit that information to display in real-time to infinite physical and virtual spaces

Student Name Harvard Graduate School of Design | REALTIME CITIES 2014 | Food Recovery Network | Kalisha Holmes FRN Smartphone Application User Interface: Temporary Nodes • Currently, Food Recovery Network does not have a mechanism for non-affiliated institutions to donate food. The model currently accounts only for institutions who have chronic food surpluses. • Problem:There are institutions that may have a one-time large food surplus, and they should be able to plug into the Network as well • Solution: The smartphone application will have a mechanism for temporary nodes to donate their food one-time only
