The project aims to address the issue of growing food waste in her hometown of Lucknow. Aakarshi has identified problems with current waste disposal systems, attitudes towards recycling and donation, and a lack of regulation, linking these to root causes like insufficient proper waste disposal systems and public apathy. The project serves restaurant owners, vegetable vendors, households, and marginalized people, noting their desire for excess food donation and local government regulation on waste managemen
